Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Mark Smith draws on client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients explore their feelings and priorities. This approach helps with relational concerns, self-worth, and grief by emphasizing empathy and collaborative understanding.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical method often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related difficulties. Motivational interviewing complements these approaches by helping people resolve ambivalence and build motivation for change, which can be especially useful for addictions and behavior change.

Mark will work with each client to assess needs, try methods that suit their goals, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful for them.
