About Mark
Mark Kenney is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California with seven years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. He also lists codependency, attachment issues, communication problems, and topics like kink and polyamory among his areas of focus.
Mark works in a straightforward way. He helps people notice when other people's needs shape their choices. Then he supports them in naming their own needs and practicing different ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at building clearer boundaries and greater self-direction.
In the room he listens for patterns that keep someone stuck. He helps people practice new responses to anxiety and old relationship habits. Work can include looking at how attachment or codependent patterns show up in daily life, and trying small, manageable changes.
He brings seven years of experience to common life transitions like breakups, career shifts, and shifting family roles. He also works with men navigating expectations about identity and connection, and with young adults figuring out purpose and independence.
To begin with Mark, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. His practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often give clear tools you can practice between sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns in relationships and behavior, then experimenting with new responses. This helps with people-pleasing, boundary-setting, and noticing codependent habits. Another approach emphasizes anxiety-management skills such as paced breathing, checking distorted thoughts, and gradual exposure to feared situations. These methods are practical and aim to reduce day-to-day distress.Finding the right way of working is collaborative. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which approaches to try first. You and the therapist decide together whether to focus on relationship patterns, anxiety skills, or both, and adjust the plan as you go.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the original biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where their challenges happen and bring real-life examples to the next session.
