Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the client's own insights and strengths; it helps people explore personal values, relationships, and life purpose while feeling heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, making it useful for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, trauma-related symptoms, and chronic worry.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mark works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He combines elements from different approaches when appropriate so that care is tailored and practical.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier for people in different parts of California to access licensed professionals. These options support continuity of care and allow therapists and clients to work together in formats that suit each person's life and communication style.
