About Mark
Mark Panasiewicz is a licensed social worker with 10 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma. He uses a straightforward, respectful style and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.
Background and approach
Mark is based in Michigan and offers sessions in English, including to international clients. Mark draws from several approaches to match what each person needs.
He often blends Gottman Method ideas for relationship work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques for individual concerns. Sessions tend to be direct and goal-oriented, with skills practice and clear feedback.
He has substantial experience supporting people facing substance use issues, domestic violence histories, and trauma from physical or emotional abuse. He also helps with grief, intimacy and sexual concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, career-related stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
His background includes work with veterans and people coping with chronic illness and caregiving responsibilities. In the room Mark will listen, ask focused questions, and offer concrete exercises to try between sessions.
He emphasizes communication skills for couples and practical behavior changes for individuals. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and short take-home assignments.
Mark accepts video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches shape online work
The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and rebuilding connection between partners. It uses clear exercises and structured conversations to help people reduce conflict and increase emotional understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then act in ways that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks larger problems into thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan over time so sessions match the client’s needs and pace.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that helps. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or movement is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing notes between sessions. These options allow flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins during work breaks, and different ways to practice new skills.
