About Mark
Mark Yeung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience based in Oregon. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, and life transitions. He also addresses issues related to self-esteem, career strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Mark combines practical therapy methods with a human-centered approach. He often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). He also incorporates client-centered and solution-focused ideas into sessions to help people make changes they can use day to day.
His background includes counseling people who are medically ill, facing end-of-life issues, bereaved, and veterans. That work has informed how he talks about loss, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and the practical demands these bring. He names aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and hospice issues, chronic pain and disability, and caregiver stress among his additional areas of focus.
In sessions he pays attention to the relationship between therapist and client. He believes new behaviors matter, and that therapy is a place to try small, concrete changes. He also considers social and cultural factors, including immigration, multicultural issues, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.
People who are looking for help with anger, communication problems, codependency, family of origin concerns, or parenting and fatherhood stress will find his work grounded in clear techniques. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Mark commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions, which can be useful for managing anger and ongoing stress. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety, depression, and mood swings, and to practice concrete skills that change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or communication skills are the priorities.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to see which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life, and may combine techniques from different models as needed. Expect practical discussion about what to try between sessions and how to measure small changes.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. Online work also makes it straightforward to focus on skills practice, check progress, and adjust the plan without needing an in-person visit.
