About Mark
Mark J. Kriezis is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with eight years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem concerns, career questions, and ADHD. He works in Massachusetts and offers a straightforward, problem-focused style that aims to help people feel more steady day to day.
Kriezis emphasizes empowerment rather than prescribing one path. He helps people notice patterns that get in the way, try new ways of coping, and set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and direct, with room to talk about emotion and meaning as well as behavior. His background includes working with a wide range of life challenges such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family concerns, communication problems, substance and process addictions, and mood or personality concerns.
He also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose or men's issues. In sessions he draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address immediate crises and longer-term change. That usually means mixing short-term stabilization with skills practice and motivational work to support lasting progress.
The tone is collaborative - the person sets priorities and he helps plan steps toward them. Mark offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. He conducts work in English and practices in Massachusetts.
Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Mark often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, low mood, and many daily challenges because it focuses on clear strategies to change thinking and behavior.He also incorporates motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck. That style focuses on building motivation, clarifying personal goals, and working through mixed feelings about change. For immediate crises or high distress he applies brief crisis intervention to help stabilize feelings and create a short-term safety plan.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. He will discuss options, listen to your preferences and goals, and tailor techniques to what fits your needs. The process is collaborative and goal-oriented, with regular check-ins about progress.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face when convenient. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or flexible scheduling across the week. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, school, or family life.
