About Mark
Mark Yeung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who combines practical therapy methods with straightforward support. He draws on 12 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship struggles. He also supports people facing life changes, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and identity-related issues.
Mark emphasizes clear, collaborative work. He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered listening.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on useful skills, concrete coping steps, and goals the person cares about. Conversations are direct and focused on making day-to-day life more manageable. He has worked with people confronting medical and end-of-life issues, bereavement, and caregiver stress.
He also addresses career questions, parenting strains, anger, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related concerns. Cultural and immigration issues, prejudice, and multicultural stress are part of his practice too. Mark trained at the University of California, Berkeley where he earned a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health.
He is licensed in Oregon as OR LCSW L5904 and CA LCSW 28753. Those credentials reflect his clinical background and years in practice. In sessions he aims to build a strong working relationship first.
Then he helps people try new behaviors, practice skills, and track what makes a difference. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.
Online approaches that teach skills and build connection
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication during high-stress moments. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and which strategies feel manageable. Together they try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier if being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, and quick skill reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice skills in real situations.Frequently asked questions
