Mark Sandvoss, LCSW

Mark Sandvoss is a Florida LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience in behavioral health. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career issues, ADHD, and mood disorders. He also lists areas such as codependency, fatherhood issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and self-harm among his focuses.

Mark uses straightforward, interactive sessions grounded in practical therapy methods. He asks about daily routines and reactions, then helps people build specific coping steps. Conversations are goal-oriented and focused on what people can try between sessions.

His approach draws mainly from client-centered ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy, with existential and mindfulness elements. That means sessions mix listening for what matters to the person with tools to change thinking and behavior. Mindfulness exercises and questions about meaning or values can be part of the work.

He aims to reduce the patterns that fuel frequent anger and resentment, and to support better responses at work and at home. Expect clear discussion of triggers, practiced techniques to manage strong emotions, and planning for real situations that cause friction.

Mark notes that treatment plans grow from the client’s goals. He uses short-term strategies and longer conversations as needed, and encourages people to test new habits between meetings. His stated style is interactive and respectful, avoiding stigmatizing labels while focusing on measurable steps forward.
