Mark Yeung, LCSW

Mark Yeung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings a calm, practical approach to therapy. He writes plainly and listens carefully so people can say what matters. His style aims to help people manage stress, loss, and the everyday pressure of illness and caregiving.

He uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside a client-centered, solution-focused outlook. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, building coping skills, and practicing small changes between meetings. That practical focus can help with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and the strain of chronic illness or caregiving.

Mark has about 12 years of counseling experience and has worked with medically ill and terminally ill people as well as the bereaved and veterans. His background includes a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health from the University of California, Berkeley. He holds LCSW credentials in multiple states and currently lists Oregon as his location.

In sessions he emphasizes empathy, warmth, and building a strong working relationship. He aims to help people try new behaviors and notice what changes. He also addresses practical life problems like sleep, eating, parenting stress, and work-related strain.

If someone is coping with cancer, chronic pain, caregiving burden, immigration stress, or age-related concerns, Mark can talk through coping strategies and support plans. To begin, people are invited to follow the site’s start process to see if the fit feels right.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, chronic illness adjustment, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for depression, sleep problems, and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with strong emotions, relationship strain, and self-management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend ways to try different techniques. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to use and how to pace progress.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people choose times that work around caregiving or medical appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT exercises to an online setting so sessions focus on skill practice, problem solving, and tracking what changes between meetings.
