Mark Sandvoss
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
About Mark
I am a Clinical social worker licensed in Florida with over 20 years of experience working in the behavioral health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, co-dependency, anger management, co-occurring disorders, self-esteem issues.. I also helped people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic/ existential, strengths based, reality therapy/ choice theory, and a solution focused orientation. I will generate goals you have in order to arrive at a treatment plan designed to meet your specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first step towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

What clients say
- “Mark has been very helpful with talking to my son and giving him the tools he needs to overcome his struggles”
- “As a parent, finding the right therapist for a teenager can feel overwhelming, but this has been a great experience for our family. My son genuinely looks forward to his sessions, which says a lot. The therapist connects with him in a way that feels natural and not forced, even through a screen.<br /> <br /> They are patient, insightful, and clearly experienced in working with teens. I’ve noticed my son becoming more open, more self-aware, and better equipped to handle challenges. I’m very grateful for the support Mark has provided.”
