He describes work with men and people who have served in the armed forces among his focus areas. Sessions can include practical behavior changes and guided conversations about values and goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on stabilizing acute distress and building practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing centers conversations on a persons own goals and strengths to increase willingness to change behaviors such as substance use or unhealthy routines.He also uses crisis intervention methods that prioritize immediate safety and short-term stabilization when stress or impulsive behavior spikes. These approaches are active and task-focused, offering clear next steps people can try between sessions. Deciding which mix of methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to goals, needs, and preferences rather than using one fixed method.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make regular follow-up and skill practice simpler to maintain between visits. A therapist and client can adjust the approach as progress is made and priorities change.
