Background and approach

His background includes long-term work with clients who have complex histories and overlapping concerns. In sessions he often blends cognitive approaches with motivational conversation aimed at clear change. That can look like identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new skills, and setting small achievable goals.

He favors talk that gets to the point and offers concrete strategies to try between meetings. Mark has substantial experience in couples work and has helped partners repair communication and rebuild trust. He also offers support for those facing career uncertainty, ADHD challenges, body image concerns, and chronic illness or pain.

He will tailor the pace and focus to what matters most to each person. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged for people inside or outside the United States. He practices in Michigan and brings a decade of clinical experience to each conversation.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with chronic illness.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are very intense.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that suit their goals and preferences. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan so sessions stay focused and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility - video calls for deeper conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
