Dr. Mark Daddona, LPC

Dr. Mark Daddona is a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults. He holds a Ph.D. in counseling and teaches psychology courses part-time while also supervising graduate students training to become counselors. He draws on long experience helping people who face stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ-related concerns.

In sessions he treats career questions by looking at personality, interests, and skills and how they match current or future work. He also helps people navigate grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and major life changes. He lists aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress among additional areas of focus.

His way of working combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with a person-centered stance. That means he uses practical thinking tools to test unhelpful thoughts while keeping the conversation focused on each person’s goals and strengths. He aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly and try new ways of coping.

Dr. Daddona emphasizes collaboration and respects that clients know their own stories best. He supports people as they take the often difficult first steps toward change and a more satisfying life.

He practices in Georgia and conducts teaching and supervision alongside his clinical work. Sessions and next steps are arranged through the platform's scheduling process.

Approaches that guide online care

Dr. Daddona draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and a person-centered stance in his work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Person-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people use their own strengths to set and reach goals.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt the plan over time based on what is helpful.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, avoiding travel time, fitting short check-ins into a workday, or using an appointment slot that matches caregiving responsibilities. It can also let people continue work with a licensed professional while juggling life changes and caregiving duties. Ask about current scheduling and format options when you arrange your first session.
