Dr. Mark Daddona

Dr. Mark Daddona is a licensed professional counselor with more than 20 years of experience. He holds a Ph.D. in counseling and balances part-time teaching with clinical work. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity. He also helps people facing career decisions and anger concerns.

He teaches psychology and supervises graduate students who are training to become counselors. That teaching work keeps his approach current and grounded in practical skills. He draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside a person-centered attitude to help people understand patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior.

In sessions he invites people to tell their story and to build on existing strengths. Conversations are meant to be direct and down-to-earth. He aims to create a calm space where people can try new ways of coping and handling difficult emotions.

He often helps with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, grief, and the challenges of parenting and life changes. He also works with aging and caregiver stress, men's issues, and questions around sexuality. Career conversations focus on how personality, interests, and skills fit current or future roles.

Dr. Daddona emphasizes partnership in therapy. He encourages people to set concrete goals and to practice helpful skills between sessions. He supports gradual change and steady progress at a pace that fits each person.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Daddona uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and on a warm, accepting therapy relationship. Cognitive-behavioral methods look at patterns of thinking and behavior and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, anger, and stress. Person-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people name their own goals and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and daily life. That means adjusting pacing, trying different tools, and checking in often to see what helps.
