About Mark
Mark Hard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 10 years of experience in mental health and addictions. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction-related problems, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, trauma and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
He draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions he uses straightforward conversation and concrete skills practice. He aims to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and build everyday tools for coping.
Mark has substantial experience addressing addiction, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and problems that show up in relationships. He also focuses on issues like self-esteem, guilt and shame, life transitions, and burnout or compassion fatigue. People who want clear techniques alongside reflective work often find this mix useful.
His approach includes motivational interviewing and solution-focused elements to help set realistic goals. He emphasizes respect and dignity when talking about painful or difficult experiences. Treatment plans are shaped around what a person wants to accomplish rather than a fixed protocol.
If someone is looking to manage anger that shows up at work, home, or in close relationships, he offers straightforward skill-building and communication practice. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see how the work unfolds.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

CBT is practical and problem-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that fuel angry reactions.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) which teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT provides step-by-step strategies for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match goals and daily life. That means adjusting techniques, practicing skills between sessions, and checking what is or isn't helping.
