Background and approach

He draws on that experience when people bring addiction-related or co-occurring issues. Mark uses a client-centered stance that centers the person's needs and perspectives. He pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

He also draws on solution-focused methods to set short-term, achievable steps. He identifies as a Christian counselor but works respectfully with people of all beliefs. Empathy and respect are central to how he engages during sessions.

He emphasizes tailoring each session to the person's specific situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Mark invites people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to take the first step. He focuses on clear goals, practical strategies, and steady follow-through.

He encourages clients to build skills that carry into everyday life.

How his approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. Online sessions using this approach give space for the client to set the pace and priorities while the therapist reflects and supports their choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then try new behaviors. In remote sessions CBT often includes short exercises and practical homework to practice between meetings.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, achievable steps and what already works. That approach is useful when someone wants quick, concrete changes and prefers a short-term, goal-directed focus.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels helpful. That trial-and-adjust process helps find the best mix for the person's needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and guided exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging fits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
