Online sessions combining practical skills and compassionate listening
Mark McWhorter uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address emotional and relational concerns. Client-Centered Therapy provides a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people to describe their experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress and anxiety and learning concrete strategies to respond differently. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be practiced between sessions.
For relationship-focused work he may draw from the Gottman Method to explore communication patterns and shared goals. Motivational Interviewing can support readiness for change when ambivalence arises. Mindfulness-based techniques are also incorporated to build present-moment awareness and coping during difficult moments.
Online contact options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The online format is presented as a way to engage in skill practice, reflective discussion, and goal-setting using the approaches listed above.
