Mark Yeung, LCSW

Mark Yeung offers a warm, grounded approach to therapy that emphasizes both skillful technique and genuine care. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and holds graduate degrees from the University of California, Berkeley - a Master of Social Work (MSW) and a Master of Public Health (MPH). Over his career he has worked for more than a decade with people facing medical illness, life-limiting conditions, grief, bereavement and veterans, bringing experience with a wide range of challenges.

He draws on evidence-informed methods including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), blended with a humanistic, solution-focused stance. Those therapies offer practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions, shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and clarifying personal values for meaningful action, while the humanistic element keeps the relationship and the client’s experience central.

Beyond trainings and techniques, Mark prioritizes warmth, empathy and a collaborative alliance as the foundation for change. He believes that therapeutic progress depends not only on methods but on a trusting relationship and the client’s adoption of new behaviors. Anyone considering support can reach out to see whether his combination of practical strategies and caring presence fits their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mark Yeung integrates several practical, skill-based approaches that translate well to online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions - it is useful for anxiety, stress and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for depression, anxiety and problem-solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Mark approaches this collaboratively. He works with each person to identify priorities, preferences and goals, then tailors techniques from these modalities to fit the client’s needs rather than insisting on a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, and brief check-ins or ongoing work can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to access consistent support around work, family commitments and life transitions while maintaining continuity with licensed professionals and therapists focused on measurable progress.
