Mark Yeung

Mark Yeung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, person-centered counseling. He combines clear clinical tools with a caring, straightforward style to help people facing stress, grief, health challenges, relationship strain, and major life changes. Mark aims to make the first steps toward help easy to understand and less overwhelming.

He brings 12 years of clinical experience working with people who are medically ill, facing terminal conditions, grieving losses, or managing chronic health problems. That background informs how he supports individuals coping with hospice and end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, and illness-related distress. His work also covers anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, ADHD, and issues around identity and multicultural challenges.

Mark uses a mix of approaches in sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gottman Method strategies, and a client-centered, solution-focused stance. In plain terms, that means he helps people notice what matters to them, try out new behaviors, and learn practical skills to manage emotions and relationships.

He trained at the University of California, Berkeley with a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health and holds licensure in multiple states. His Oregon practice draws on experience with veterans, the bereaved, and people living with serious illness, so he is familiar with the stresses that come with caregiving and aging.

Mark aims for straightforward collaboration in sessions. He prefers clear goals, respectful listening, and practical steps you can try between meetings. If that approach sounds useful, the next step is a short matching process to see if it feels right for you.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, often used for anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve coping for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for high emotional reactivity and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed so the plan fits the person’s real life and priorities.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. They can also let someone use a quieter spot, rely on a phone connection when video isn’t practical, or schedule sessions around caregiving or medical appointments. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire to see what works for your routine.
