Mark Dubin , LCSW, CSW

Mark Dubin is a licensed social worker based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and anger management. He holds LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, and CSW, a clinical social work credential, and integrates those qualifications into a practical, person-centered approach to care.

He focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings and thoughts at their own pace. Mark emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify patterns that contribute to distress and developing concrete skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. His work is aimed at guiding individuals through difficult transitions and supporting recovery from past hurts while building resilience for the future.

Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and Mark frames his role as one of support and partnership. He works with clients to set realistic goals and to practice strategies that fit each person’s life and values, with attention to both immediate coping needs and longer-term growth.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Mark draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and healing. One approach centers on skills-based cognitive strategies that help people identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping responses, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. These techniques are useful for managing stress, improving mood, and navigating life changes.

Another emphasis is trauma-informed care, which prioritizes safety, stabilization, and gradual processing of traumatic experiences. This approach supports people who have faced abuse, loss, or other painful events by pacing work to the client’s readiness and building emotional regulation skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mark collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide on priorities and adjust techniques over time to improve fit and effectiveness.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and allow people to access care from different locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, accommodate busy lives, and support international clients who work across time zones.
