How sessions work
Approach and online session structure
Mark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behavior patterns. CBT involves breaking problems into smaller parts and practicing new responses to reduce repeated anger reactions.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to actions that fit those values. ACT can help when anger comes from feeling stuck or from conflicts between what matters and everyday choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts techniques based on what helps most. That means trying concrete exercises, reviewing how they went, and changing plans together when needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists often adapt exercises for remote meetings so skill practice and behavior experiments remain practical and relevant.
