About Mark
Dr. Mark Daddona has worked as a licensed counselor for over 20 years. He holds a Ph.D. in counseling and currently teaches psychology courses part time while mentoring graduate students training to become counselors.
He draws on long clinical experience to help adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, career questions, and parenting challenges. He uses practical, straightforward conversations to help people name the problems they face. He treats the person, not just the symptoms, and looks for strengths that can be used right away.
Background and approach
He often connects what a person values and enjoys with choices about work, relationships, and life changes. Dr. Daddona bases his work on cognitive-behavioral and person-centered ideas.
That means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions, while keeping the conversation respectful and client-led. Sessions are aimed at real-world changes rather than only talking about feelings. His background includes teaching and supervising future counselors, which keeps his work current with training and research.
He also brings experience with issues related to aging, caregiving stress, men's concerns, and sexuality when those topics arise. Parents and adults who want clear tools and steady support often find his style direct but warm. He helps people take gradual steps toward more satisfying routines and relationships.
The focus is on practical progress and using each person's existing strengths.
Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change
Dr. Daddona uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking that make stress and anxiety worse. He helps clients test small changes in thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.He also practices person-centered methods that keep the client's perspective central. This approach focuses on listening, respect, and building on each person's strengths while they set the pace and goals for work together.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. He collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients can expect a mix of listening, practical suggestions, and homework when useful.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to meet from home, during breaks, or while juggling caregiving and work. The variety of formats lets people pick what feels most manageable while still getting regular therapeutic support.
