How Mark’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on repairing trust and improving emotional connection, which supports people struggling with intimacy and past relational hurt. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is practical and problem-focused, helping people identify thought patterns that feed depression, anxiety and eating or sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, previous experience and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or family life and reduced travel time. Because session formats are listed in the original biography, please confirm current session options before booking. This helps make sure the agreed way of meeting actually fits day-to-day routines and technical needs.
