About Mark
Mark Isajiw is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, and stress. He practices in Washington and focuses on steady, practical support when emotions feel overwhelming. He listens for the specific patterns behind a person’s worry or low mood.
Sessions tend to include clear, manageable steps for coping with panic, social anxiety, and persistent worry. He also addresses relationship strain and the communication problems that often come with it.
Background and approach
People come to him for help after traumatic events, divorce, or when feelings of guilt and shame get in the way of daily life. He guides clients through processing those experiences and rebuilding self-esteem. The work balances emotional understanding with skills people can use between sessions.
Mark takes a holistic view of recovery, paying attention to everyday routines, social isolation, and life purpose as drivers of wellbeing. He helps people rebuild trust in themselves and practice forgiveness when that matters to their healing. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled by completing a short matching questionnaire and picking a time that fits the client.
Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based techniques focus on helping people manage symptoms and rebuild daily routines. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing and grounding techniques, thought management, and step-by-step ways to reduce panic attacks and intense anxiety. These tools help people regain control during high-stress moments.Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care, which supports processing difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. This involves naming what happened, understanding how it affects current behavior, and developing coping strategies to reduce triggers and flashbacks.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then adjust methods over time. That collaboration helps make sure sessions stay practical and relevant to the person's life.
Online formats add flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use shorter, timely exchanges for brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
