About Mark
Mark Yeung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience offering counseling to adults. He is licensed in Oregon and has worked with people facing grief, chronic illness, stress, and relationship strain. He also lists support for parenting concerns and many everyday problems adults bring from home.
He draws on several common therapies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). He combines these with a client-centered, solution-focused humanistic stance. That means sessions tend to focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and small steps a person can try between meetings.
His background includes work with medically ill and terminally ill people, bereaved clients, and veterans. Those experiences shaped how he talks about end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, and grief. He also notes experience with addictions, trauma and multicultural and immigration-related issues.
In a session he listens, reflects, and offers concrete strategies such as behavioral experiments, emotion regulation skills, and values-based goals. He emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the engine for change and then pairs that with techniques from ACT, DBT, and CBT when useful.
People reading on a phone will find straightforward language in sessions. He encourages adults struggling with parenting pressures, relationship tension, anxiety, depression, or life transitions to complete the matching steps and schedule a first appointment to see if his way of working fits.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps people who are stuck by shifting attention from avoiding feelings to building a meaningful life despite them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It uses practical exercises and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and unhelpful patterns at home.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It can be useful for intense emotions, communication problems, and improving how someone responds in stressful relationships.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick techniques that fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as different challenges come up.
