Approaches for online support and practical skills
Mark commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working with people online. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships.He combines these structured methods with a client-centered stance, so decisions about which approach to use are collaborative. The therapist will help identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what best fits the client's needs and preferences.
