About Marco
Marco customizes conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s individual needs, believing that meaningful change begins with courage and a willingness to take the first step. His therapeutic style blends practical, goal-oriented methods with client-led exploration to help clients build coping skills, repair relationships, and regain a sense of direction.
He uses a range of evidence-informed approaches, including Solution Focused work, Feedback Informed Treatment, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Marco aims to support and empower those he works with as they move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotions - it is often used for mood concerns, anxiety, panic, and difficulties with impulsivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it can help with intense emotions, anger management, and relationship conflicts. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen internal motivation to change - it is frequently applied in work with addictions and processes such as smoking or substance use.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marco works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which method or combination of methods fits each person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit treatment into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across locations. These formats offer flexible scheduling, quicker access to appointments, and multiple ways to communicate so therapists and clients can choose what works best for active recovery, family work, or ongoing skill building.
