About Mark
Mark J. Kriezis is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts. He brings eight years of experience helping people manage intense emotions and difficult life moments.
He focuses on practical steps that help reduce stress, anxiety, and anger so daily life feels more manageable. His approach is straightforward and collaborative. He listens first, then helps people choose strategies that fit their goals.
Sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings to handle impulsivity, low self-esteem, or career strain.
Background and approach
Mark draws on evidence-based techniques to support change. He works with folks dealing with ADHD, mood or personality challenges, and process or substance-related concerns. He also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment wounds, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.
People who want clear tools and steady guidance often find his style useful. He aims to help clients de-escalate when emotions run high and to build routines that reduce reactivity over time. Progress is paced to each person’s needs.
Mark offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make ongoing work more accessible. He conducts sessions in English and practices from Massachusetts. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with a schedule that works for them.

Approaches that meet you where you are online
Mark uses a few evidence-based ways of working that translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and anger going. It teaches concrete skills for managing reactions and shifting patterns.Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their goals and strengthen their own reasons for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making different choices, such as reducing substance use or changing impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mark will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, pace, and preferences. He adapts strategies as progress unfolds so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep consistent sessions and to use skills in real time.
