About Mark
Mark Novak is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, reduce anxiety, and cope with grief and major life changes. He emphasizes practical steps clients can take and works alongside them as they try new strategies.
Mark approaches therapy believing each person knows their own story. He looks for strengths clients already have and builds on those. Sessions tend to focus on short-term tools and clear goals that feel doable between appointments.
How Mark works
His work often centers on self-esteem, motivation, and growing self-love. He also addresses compassion fatigue and workplace stress with straightforward conversations about boundaries and balance. Communication problems and forgiveness come up as practical relationship skills to learn and practice.
Mark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions to change unhelpful patterns. He helps people test new ways of thinking and experiment with behaviors that support their goals. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and problem-solving around life transitions.
People who prefer a conversational and goal-focused style often find his approach a good fit. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules and needs. Starting begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support options
CBT and practical online therapy options
Mark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on small, testable changes in thinking and behavior so clients can see what helps and what doesn't. This approach is commonly used for stress, anxiety, grief-related difficulties, and coping with life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mark will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they will try approaches, review what helps, and adjust plans based on real-world results.
Online sessions come in multiple formats to fit different needs: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or travel makes video difficult, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days and let clients pick what feels most manageable for each moment.
