About Mark

Mark J. Kriezis is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who brings eight years of clinical experience to his practice in Massachusetts.

Background and approach

He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, and ADHD, along with a range of related challenges such as impulsivity, addiction, attachment wounds, and mood or personality difficulties. His practice emphasizes practical support during crisis and guidance through complex life transitions.

Kriezis frames his work around empowerment rather than prescriptive solutions, collaborating with clients to identify goals and build skills that fit their lives. He draws on evidence-based methods to help clients stabilize during acute distress and to pursue longer-term growth.

Sessions are delivered in English and offered through a variety of online formats to accommodate different schedules and needs. Prospective clients in Massachusetts can begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to his availability.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Many of his interventions draw on well-supported therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, mood difficulties, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges. Motivational Interviewing helps people strengthen their own motivation for change and can be especially helpful with substance use concerns, behavioral patterns, and engagement in treatment.

He also uses crisis intervention strategies to help stabilize people during acute distress and to connect immediate coping with longer-term skill building. Determining which approach or combination of approaches fits best is a collaborative process - the therapist works with each client to consider goals, preferences, and practical needs and to adjust methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions and allow licensed professionals to deliver evidence-based strategies without requiring travel.
