About Mark
Mark Panasiewicz, LMSW, helps people who are dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. He speaks plainly and aims to give clear, direct guidance so clients can make practical changes. Sessions focus on real problems and workable steps rather than abstract talk.
With ten years of experience, he draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and client-centered care to shape sessions around each person’s needs. Conversations are straightforward and focused on understanding patterns that drive anger and conflict.
Background and approach
He uses tools that help people notice thoughts, shift unhelpful reactions, and build better habits over time. Mark has worked with people facing trauma, substance-related challenges, depression, grief, and intimacy issues. He also supports clients dealing with sleep problems, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
When relationships are under strain, he addresses communication, trust, and power dynamics in practical ways. Sessions are collaborative. He listens first, then offers clear strategies tailored to what a person wants to change.
This can include short behavioral experiments, skill-building exercises, and goal-focused conversations that fit everyday life. People who prefer direct, no-nonsense guidance tend to respond well to his style. He aims to help clients reduce angry reactions, manage stress, and rebuild connection with others.
Work progresses at a pace that fits each person’s goals and comfort level.

Approaches that guide online sessions and progress
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anger, anxiety, and life changes by shifting what matters most in day-to-day choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, anger, depression, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a short check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging are flexible for quick updates, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
