Evidence-based approaches and online care
Mark uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match the problem a person brings. One common approach focuses on developing practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as short breathing exercises, behavioral activation, and planning manageable routines that reduce overwhelm. These techniques aim to help people regain a sense of control and predictability in daily life.Another approach addresses attention and concentration challenges by breaking tasks into smaller steps, building structured habits, and using memory supports and strategies to improve focus. This is useful for people who struggle with procrastination, distractibility, or keeping track of tasks after brain injury or with ADHD-related difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what works. Sessions emphasize clear explanations and concrete practice so progress can be tracked over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide flexible, written ways to stay connected between longer sessions. These formats help people access care from different locations and routines.
