About Mark
Mark Sandvoss is a Florida LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 30 years of experience in behavioral health. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting strains, career issues, bipolar mood disorders, and ADHD.
His approach is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on identifying what feels out of balance and finding workable steps to change it. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different ways of responding. He also uses client-centered and existential ideas to explore values and meaning when life shifts or grief appears.
In the room he aims to be straightforward and respectful. He helps people set clear, achievable goals and then tracks progress without relying on labels. That includes creating tools to manage anger, reduce stress, improve sleep, and cope with cravings or compulsive behaviors.
He has worked across clinical settings over three decades and brings that broad experience to individual sessions. He will talk through what has worked before and try practical techniques chosen for the person’s needs and preferences.
People often come for help with overwhelming reactions, built-up resentment, or trouble communicating under stress. He helps them spot patterns, practice alternatives, and rehearse new responses so daily life becomes easier to handle.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people name their priorities. It supports issues like low self-esteem, life changes, and relationship stress by centering the person’s own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for anger, anxiety, and depression.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. He will work with each person to identify which approach fits their goals and preferences. That means testing techniques, reviewing how they feel, and adjusting plans together so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring examples from real life into sessions, which helps translate techniques into daily habits.
