Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Mark draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s priorities lead the work - this approach supports self-exploration, relationship concerns, and building confidence. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices that can reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation, which can be useful for coping with trauma, stress, and ongoing life transitions.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Mark collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online sessions with a licensed professional offer flexibility - whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can access support around work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to try different formats until the most comfortable and effective way to work together is found.
