About Mark
Mark Sandvoss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. He draws on three decades in behavioral health to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, and ADHD. He aims to offer respectful, down-to-earth support for people who want to feel more in control and more hopeful about daily life.
Mark keeps sessions straightforward and interactive. He listens first, then helps people set practical goals. He focuses on small, doable steps that fit into a person’s day.
Background and approach
He avoids labeling and treats each person as an individual. In practice he uses methods grounded in cognitive behavioral ideas and human-centered, existential perspectives. That means he helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and think about what gives their life meaning.
He also brings mindfulness techniques to help manage stress and build calm in busy moments. Mark’s style is warm and collaborative. He works with clients to build a plan based on their needs and goals.
Sessions can include skills practice, problem-solving, and real-world homework to test what works. With long experience across many concerns - from grief and trauma to parenting and career questions - he aims to help people find practical ways forward. He supports those wanting clearer routines, better focus, improved relationships, or relief from persistent mood struggles.
Approaches to online therapy and what to expect
Mark uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can improve daily functioning. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related focus challenges, and practical coping skills training.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace. This helps people feel heard and build trust while they explore goals and values.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is seen. That collaborative process helps identify whether cognitive techniques, reflective exploration, or mindfulness practices fit best.
Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people use shorter, flexible check-ins and follow-up between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week while keeping a consistent path forward.
