About Mark
Mark J. Kriezis is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts with eight years of experience. He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, and ADHD.
Mark takes a practical, down-to-earth approach that aims to help people feel steadier day to day. He guides conversations so clients can identify immediate steps to reduce distress and regain control. He also looks at patterns that keep problems returning, such as impulsivity, avoidance, or difficulty communicating.
How Mark works
Sessions often include straightforward strategies and short experiments to try between meetings. Mark also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, substance and process addiction, guilt and shame, and questions about purpose. He seeks to help people untangle painful feelings and build clearer routines and boundaries.
In the room he aims to be collaborative and respectful. He works to understand each person’s background and preferences before suggesting tools or changes. The emphasis is on what will work for the individual, not on one fixed method.
He offers a mix of check-ins, skill practice, and problem-solving to help people manage mood disorders, personality concerns, isolation, and relationship-related struggles. Mark explains techniques in plain language and focuses on small, doable steps that add up over time.

Online support options
Online approaches and convenient care
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive behavioral work helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to shift mood and behavior; it is useful for anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps clarify goals and increase readiness for change, commonly used for career shifts, substance concerns, or making healthier habits.Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will talk with each person about their goals, past efforts, and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text messaging supports brief updates or questions between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping continuity of care.
