About Mark
Mark J. Kriezis is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with eight years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and ADHD. He also addresses guilt and shame alongside related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, and difficulties with communication.
Kriezis frames sessions around practical steps. He helps people manage crisis moments and steady ongoing problems. He uses clear, evidence-based techniques to calm acute distress and reduce behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
In the room he moves between short-term stabilization and longer-term change. That can mean focused crisis intervention one week and then skill-building the next. He draws on motivational interviewing to sort values and goals, and on cognitive behavioral methods to change thinking and behavior patterns.
He also works with substance and process addictions and with patterns of impulsivity. Sessions address how those behaviors interact with mood, relationships, and a sense of purpose. He pays attention to cultural background and identity when discussing these issues.
People who choose him can expect a practical approach that centers immediate safety and clear next steps. The work includes talking through what is happening, learning new strategies, and making incremental changes.

How evidence-based techniques are used online
He commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. This approach breaks problems into manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, guilt, low mood, and impulsive behaviors.He also uses motivational interviewing to clarify values and build commitment to change. That method focuses on listening, finding personal reasons for change, and creating small, achievable goals when motivation is low.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a short series of focused sessions to stabilize distress before moving into longer-term skill building.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, fewer travel hours, or the ability to meet without rearranging childcare. Therapists who work online often adapt exercises, worksheets, and homework to the session format so progress continues between meetings.
