Approaches That Guide Online Support
Mark draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy to shape online work in ways that suit each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting the client to explore their own feelings and solutions, which can be helpful for building confidence and processing relationship or family concerns. CBT examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that can ease overwhelming emotions and improve coping with life changes or grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Mark works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, geographic constraints or mobility needs. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide regular, consistent support while making it easier for clients to access help from their preferred environment.
