About Mark
Mark Panasiewicz is a licensed social worker (LMSW) with 10 years of clinical experience. He offers straightforward, direct sessions aimed at helping people manage stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Mark speaks English and works with people who bring a wide range of concerns, including grief, addiction, attentional challenges, and parenting strain.
He uses practical conversation and goal-focused work rather than long, abstract explanations. Sessions often include clear steps, homework, and skills practice to address sleep, coping, and communication patterns. Mark adapts the pace to each person's needs and focuses on measurable changes people can notice week to week.
Mark blends several therapy approaches to fit what a person needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions respectful and collaborative, and draws from acceptance-based ideas to help people live with difficult feelings while moving toward their values.
Over his career he has worked with people facing trauma, relationship breakdown, substance use concerns, and power or control issues. That experience shapes how he crafts treatment plans and safety-focused steps when needed. He aims to help people rebuild routines, restore sleep, and find clearer communication with partners and loved ones.
To begin, a person completes a short questionnaire and schedules sessions based on availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Mark uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try small, practical changes. CBT often focuses on sleep routines, activity scheduling, and testing unhelpful beliefs to reduce anxiety and improve rest.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when uncomfortable emotions are present. ACT can help with struggling to sleep because of worry, or with living alongside persistent distress while still making meaningful changes.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, values-based action, or a person-centered pace that follows the client's lead.
