Evidence-based approaches and remote sessions
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. One common approach is problem-focused cognitive work that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practices alternative responses; this can be useful for anxiety and depression. Another approach addresses trauma-related reactions by teaching skills to manage strong emotional or physical responses and by organizing memories and reactions in a way that reduces distress. Both approaches emphasize practical skills and repeated practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to review symptoms, goals, and personal preferences and then select techniques that fit those needs. This is collaborative and can shift over time as progress and priorities change.
The biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, remote work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use simpler audio-only calls when bandwidth is limited or choose video when face-to-face interaction is helpful. Ask about available formats when you schedule the first appointment.
