Evidence-Based Tools, Made Flexible Online
Mark Panasiewicz draws from practical, skills-based approaches that translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new responses that better support day-to-day life. It is often used when stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship tension starts to feel repetitive or overwhelming.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult emotions while taking steps toward what matters most, such as healthier relationships, personal values, or long-term goals. It can be especially useful when someone feels stuck, discouraged, or pulled into cycles of avoidance. Mark also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to support couples and individuals in understanding emotional needs and strengthening connection through clearer, more responsive communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mark collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and fit therapy into busy schedules, travel, or changing routines.
