Online Therapeutic Approaches and Support

Mark Dunn integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into his online practice to meet a variety of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting the person where they are, offering empathy and active listening so clients can explore values, emotions, and goals in a supportive environment; it is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and finding life direction.

CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve day-to-day functioning. DBT adds specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be especially useful for impulsivity, relationship conflict, and emotion regulation difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mark works collaboratively with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Mark is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, making ongoing care more accessible and easier to maintain alongside daily responsibilities.
