About Mark
Mark Saverino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 35 years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, self-esteem, and depression. He also attends to concerns related to aging, cancer, caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and issues such as isolation and life purpose.
He works in a straightforward, practical way. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and planning concrete next steps. He listens for what matters in daily life - work, family roles, health, and the demands of caregiving - and keeps conversations grounded in those realities.
Mark adapts session pace and topics to each person's situation. That can mean short-term problem solving or longer-term work on self-esteem and motivation. He pays attention to symptoms like dissociation, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness, and addresses them with approaches that match the person's goals.
He has long experience with end-of-life topics including hospice counseling and with people facing chronic illness or cancer. He also helps men with life transitions and identity questions, including gender dysphoria concerns, by focusing on practical coping and clearer communication.
Sessions are offered in English and are organized around clear steps: identify the immediate problem, choose strategies that fit day-to-day life, and review progress. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats.
BHow sessions work
Approaches explained and what online work can look like
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at solving current problems and reducing distress. One common approach focuses on teaching emotion regulation and coping skills for anxiety, anger, and depressive episodes; it breaks down moments of strong feeling into small steps you can practice between sessions. Another approach emphasizes practical problem solving for life roles, caregiving burdens, and communication issues; it helps identify specific actions to change routines or ease conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and daily constraints, and together you will decide which methods to try first. Expect collaboration about pacing, homework, and which skills to prioritize based on what is most useful in your life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins for quick problem solving, or avoid travel time when juggling caregiving or treatment appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises to phone or video setups and focus on skills that transfer to everyday routines.
