About Mark
Mark J. Kriezis is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts. He brings eight years of experience as a licensed social worker and focuses on helping men with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and ADHD. He aims to guide people through difficult moments and life transitions with practical support and steady presence.
He frames therapy around empowerment rather than instruction. He helps people identify what matters, set small goals, and build routines that fit their life. Sessions tend to focus on skills you can use between meetings, like managing strong feelings or handling work pressure.
His background includes work across different age groups and cultural contexts. He emphasizes culturally responsive care and aims to create a space where people from varied backgrounds feel respected while they talk through challenges.
For immediate concerns he uses crisis intervention techniques to de-escalate distress and stabilize daily functioning. He also uses motivational interviewing to clarify values and increase readiness for change, and cognitive strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Clients can expect straightforward language and collaborative planning. Mark helps people break big problems into manageable steps and checks in on progress. If you want to explore goals around men's wellbeing, career direction, or managing impulsivity, he offers practical, experience-based support and tools to try between sessions.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Mark uses several evidence-based techniques in work with clients. Crisis intervention focuses on calming and stabilizing when emotions spike and practical steps are needed quickly. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their values and strengthen commitment to change in areas like substance use or career moves. Cognitive approaches address unhelpful thinking and behaviors by teaching skills to reframe thoughts and try new actions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, preferences, and current needs. That choice can change over time as goals shift or progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins during life transitions. It also supports flexible pacing - from quick focused check-ins to longer deep work - depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most helpful.
