About Mark

Mark Sandvoss is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD.

Background and approach

He brings a compassionate, respectful stance to clinical work and emphasizes helping clients move toward clearer goals and greater emotional balance. His background includes supporting clients through grief, self-esteem challenges, anger, bipolar mood concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, and life transitions.

His style blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with humanistic attention to each person’s values and life meaning. He draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, existential perspectives to explore purpose and choice, and mindfulness practices to build awareness and emotional regulation.

Sessions are collaborative; treatment plans are shaped around a client’s priorities and strengths rather than labels. Mark frames therapy as a partnership aimed at empowering clients to make sustainable changes and find greater resilience in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and working from a person’s own priorities, so sessions focus on what matters most to the client and build a treatment plan around individual strengths. This approach is helpful for clients seeking a respectful, collaborative space to explore feelings and set goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and attention-related challenges. Mindfulness-based techniques complement CBT by teaching present-moment awareness and skills for emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is treated as a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time as needs evolve.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care across different settings, helping clients maintain momentum and access support when in-person visits are not practical.
