About Mark
Mark Yeung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of counseling experience. He works from a narrative-informed, humanistic perspective and focuses on practical ways to help people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and addiction. He uses approachable language and a calm, steady manner in sessions.
Mark frames therapy as a collaborative process. He listens for how life stories shape current problems and helps people reconnect with values that matter to them.
Background and approach
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to offer concrete skills for emotion regulation, coping, and behavior change. His background includes work with people who are medically ill, facing end-of-life issues, grieving, or dealing with chronic conditions. That experience informs a practical focus on symptom relief, communication, and finding meaningful daily routines.
He also supports clients with parenting concerns, career strain, ADHD, and multicultural or immigration-related stressors. Sessions aim to build a strong working relationship first, then move toward small, doable steps. Mark emphasizes empathy and genuine connection while helping people try new behaviors between sessions.
He treats concerns like anger, sleeping and eating problems, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue in straightforward terms. Mark practices in Oregon and conducts sessions in English. He combines evidence-based techniques with a narrative outlook so people can reshape unhelpful stories about themselves and their lives.
The emphasis is on practical change, not jargon or overly technical explanations.

How narrative and skills-based therapies work online
Mark blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered methods to help people online. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate the problem from the person so new, more helpful stories can be tried. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered work centers the person’s experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening and reflection to strengthen the therapeutic relationship.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and together adjust what’s most useful. The emphasis is on practical steps you can use between sessions and on shaping a working relationship that fits your needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
