How Marcus works
His clinical experience includes outpatient mental health, addictive disease programs, community mental health centers, community and home-based services, and correctional settings. That background shaped his familiarity with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and substance-related concerns. In sessions he emphasizes strengths and small, achievable changes.
He uses approaches such as cognitive-behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. He also incorporates dialectical behavior techniques for emotion regulation and motivational interviewing to support change when substance use or other habits are involved. Marcus pays attention to practical goals like better sleep, clearer communication, managing anger, and coping with life transitions.
He also addresses identity and sexuality questions, social anxiety, and career stress. Treatment plans are collaborative and focused on what a person wants to change now. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after completing a short matching questionnaire.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Marcus often uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, sleep issues, mood difficulties, and many day-to-day problems because it breaks big issues into small steps people can practice.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT strategies can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone wants clearer ways to respond in tense moments.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. Marcus will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on thought-based work, skill-building, motivation for change, or a mix of methods.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs. Live chat or text can support quick check-ins, brief skill coaching, or ongoing accountability between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family days while keeping the focus on practical progress.
