About Mark
Mark Isajiw is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship strains, and low self-esteem. Mark helps people who feel stuck after major life changes and who want practical ways to manage strong emotions.
He focuses on clear, direct conversations about what is happening now. Sessions often include talking through relationship patterns, responses to past trauma, and ways to reduce panic and intense anxiety. He helps clients name their emotions and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Mark also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, and the isolation that can follow big transitions. He works with people on forgiveness, guilt and shame, and rebuilding a sense of self-worth. Life purpose is a noted area of focus for those wondering what comes next after a shift in work, health, or relationships.
Over three decades he has developed a practical rhythm in sessions that balances listening with concrete steps. Clients can expect straightforward feedback and suggested exercises to practice between sessions. The aim is to create manageable shifts rather than sudden overhauls.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options through the site flow.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present problems and skills people can apply day to day. One common approach is cognitive work that looks at unhelpful thoughts and tests new ways of thinking. This helps with anxiety, panic, and persistent negative beliefs about oneself.Another approach emphasizes processing past trauma in manageable steps so it stops driving current reactions. That work aims to reduce reactivity, lessen intrusive memories, and improve the ability to feel grounded during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend methods to try. The fit between a person and an approach is reviewed and adjusted as therapy continues.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows people to continue work with a licensed professional when relocating within the same region, but be sure to verify exact session formats and any location-based rules ahead of scheduling.
