Practical Approaches, Flexible Online Support
Mark Panasiewicz, LMSW, draws from structured, skills-based methods that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that can intensify stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict, then practice more workable alternatives. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be especially helpful when feelings run high or interactions escalate. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward values-based goals, which can be useful during major life changes or periods of uncertainty.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mark collaborates with clients to understand what they want to change, what has or has not worked before, and how they prefer to engage in therapy. From there, the work can be adjusted over time to better match each client’s needs and goals.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and get support in a format that feels accessible and manageable.
