About Mark
Dr. Mark Daddona is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience working with adults. He holds a Ph.D. in counseling and also teaches psychology courses part time while mentoring graduate students training to become counselors.
He focuses on anxiety and stress among other life challenges and aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming. He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
He draws on cognitive-behavioral and person-centered ideas to help clients set small goals and try different ways of responding to stress or worry. He brings workplace and career guidance into conversations when that is useful. He helps people connect their interests and skills to career choices or changes.
He also works with issues such as grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, and challenges tied to sexuality and LGBT identity. Teaching and supervising graduate counselors informs his practice. That experience keeps his language clear and his focus on skills people can use between sessions.
He aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can name what’s hard and try practical steps toward change. Sessions are paced to each person’s needs. He encourages clients to treat therapy as a collaboration - testing ideas, adjusting plans, and building on strengths.
His approach is direct but respectful and geared toward everyday solutions.
Approaches that guide online work and how they help
Dr. Daddona draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and stress active. That approach focuses on clear steps you can try between sessions to reduce worry and shift patterns that cause distress.He also uses person-centered principles that prioritize listening and building a collaborative relationship. This helps clients feel heard and safe enough to try new strategies and share what works and what doesn’t.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adjust techniques over time. Together they decide what feels most useful and practical for day-to-day life.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing tracking between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping focus on progress and problem solving.
