Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Mark commonly uses Existential Therapy to help people think about meaning, choice, and values when life feels confusing or painful. This approach invites reflection on how a person wants to live and what matters most to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that aligns with personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related worries.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, supportive conversation where the person leads the pace and priorities. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or combination will fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration continues as therapy progresses and plans are adjusted.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to suit different styles. Video helps with face-to-face interaction, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options allow flexibility for work breaks, travel, or fitting sessions into a busy week.
