Online support options
Evidence-based approaches delivered online
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make practical changes. One approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and panic - learning breathing and grounding tools, practicing exposure to feared situations, and building routines that reduce symptoms. This helps with panic attacks, social anxiety, and phobias.Another approach concentrates on trauma recovery and processing painful memories in manageable steps. It emphasizes safety, pacing, and rebuilding a sense of control, which can help with post-traumatic stress and long-term effects of abuse. Both approaches aim to reduce distress and increase ability to handle daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mark will discuss options, listen to your goals, and adjust methods so they fit your needs and preferences. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support frequent check-ins, quick problem solving, and ongoing encouragement between sessions.
