Mark Yeung

Mark Yeung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of counseling experience. He frames therapy around acceptance, values, and practical skills. He aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for people managing stress, anger, grief, or relationship concerns.

He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside a client-centered, humanistic stance. Sessions focus on real-life changes: noticing patterns, learning concrete tools, and testing new ways of acting that match a person's values.

Mark has worked with people facing medical illness, end-of-life issues, bereavement, and veterans. That background informs his approach to grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and complex life transitions. He also supports clients dealing with addiction, ADHD, and challenges around identity and discrimination.

In therapy he emphasizes the relationship and practical steps. He pays attention to empathy, warmth, and clear goals. People can expect a mix of listening, skill-building, and gentle challenges aimed at changing unhelpful behaviors.

Mark is licensed in Oregon as an LCSW. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to the right therapist and scheduling is set through the platform.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing concrete skills to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers hands-on tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try strategies that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use skills learned in sessions in their everyday settings sooner. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so clients can practice between meetings and track progress over time.
