About Mark

Dr. Mark Chustz offers psychotherapy grounded in Jungian ideas while drawing on client-centered and cognitive approaches. He is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 34 years of practice in Massachusetts.

He focuses on helping people facing addiction, grief, relationship strain, anxiety, and major life changes. He often sees people dealing with intimacy issues, parenting stress, workplace pressure, and the fallout from trauma or abuse. He also helps with anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

His work includes support for people coping with chronic illness, caregiving burdens, and the effects of separation or divorce. Sessions emphasize clear listening and practical steps. He uses talk, reflection, and concrete coping tools to help people manage symptoms and regain balance.

Cognitive Behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused methods are woven into sessions when they fit the issue at hand. Dr. Chustz favors a collaborative style.

He helps clients name patterns, try new responses, and track what changes. He aims to build understanding of personal history and current choices so people can move forward with more agency. Many people come for help with addiction or with family of origin struggles and leave with clearer boundaries and stronger coping.

He also supports those exploring life purpose or recovering from loss. The goal is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jungian Therapy in his practice uses attention to dreams, symbols, and life narrative to help people understand deeper patterns that affect daily choices and relationships. This approach can help with identity questions, midlife shifts, and persistent inner conflicts that feel hard to name.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and collaboration. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own solutions and build self-trust, which can be useful for depression, low self-esteem, and coping with change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) brings practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It fits well for anxiety, stress, and habits related to addiction by offering concrete exercises and manageable experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods, then adapt the mix of Jungian reflection, client-centered listening, and CBT techniques collaboratively.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care happens. Video calls let people keep eye contact and use visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care across locations.
