About Mark
Mark Yeung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 12 years of counseling experience to his clients. He writes plainly and listens closely, offering steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and sleep concerns. His work often focuses on practical steps that can help a person feel better day to day.
He blends several approaches in session, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with a client-centered style. That means sessions tend to center on what matters to the person and on small, achievable changes. He also uses skills from the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the work.
Mark has experience helping people who are coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, end-of-life issues, and the emotional fallout of major life changes. He also supports people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and issues around identity such as LGBT concerns. He draws on his years of practice to tailor approaches for each person’s needs.
People who come to him for help with sleep and rest issues find that he integrates behavioral strategies and values-based goals into treatment planning. He aims to make therapy straightforward and useful, avoiding jargon and focusing on what helps the client sleep and feel more rested.
Mark works from Oregon as an LCSW. He believes the relationship between therapist and client matters most, and he makes gentle, practical efforts to build trust and to encourage new behaviors that support recovery and better sleep.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical, evidence-based strategies for mood, stress, and sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing emotions, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when strong emotions interfere with sleep and daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set priorities, try things out, and adjust the plan based on what helps.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone focus on skills practice between meetings and bring real-life sleep and routine challenges into the sessions for immediate problem solving.
