About Mark

Mark Panasiewicz is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with 10 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and substance use concerns. Sessions are direct and practical, focused on real changes in thinking and behavior.

Mark uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations to identify patterns that keep problems going. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Sessions often include skills practice and clear homework to test what works between meetings.

He has worked with people who experienced emotional or physical abuse and those coping with substance use and trauma. He also supports concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. His background includes work with Veterans and related adjustment challenges.

Mark favors concise, honest talk rather than long, open-ended discussion. He aims to break problems into manageable steps and track progress from week to week. Therapy focuses on practical tools people can use outside sessions to reduce distress and improve interactions.

People who choose him should expect clear goals, concrete strategies, and periodic review of what is and isn’t working. To begin, clients follow a short matching process and schedule an initial session to set priorities and plan next steps.

How his approaches translate to online work

Mark commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to see if they reduce distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and many daily problems. ACT emphasizes identifying personal values and taking committed actions even when difficult feelings are present; it can help with life changes, grief, and low motivation.

The therapist treats choosing an approach as a collaborative step. He will discuss what methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as sessions show what helps. That means trying practical exercises together and checking progress regularly to decide next steps.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If you want to work remotely, ask which session formats are currently offered and how to schedule a first appointment.
