Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Mark Smith commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and explore their own solutions - it is useful for building self-understanding and addressing relational or attachment concerns.CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more effective strategies; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and symptoms that affect concentration and daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, conversational method that helps people find their own motivation to make changes, which can be particularly helpful for addictions and ambivalence about recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mark works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online therapy with Mark is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and locations. These options allow clients to access therapy from home or while traveling, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and incorporate therapeutic work into busy lives.
