About Mark
Mark Kenney is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and major life changes. He centers the work on each person's own goals and strengths so their needs get priority in decision making.
Mark aims to help people reclaim their sense of agency and feel seen and heard. Sessions are conversational and practical.
How Mark works
He listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps clients name what matters most to them. He has worked with people dealing with attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and the challenges that come with separation and divorce. He also supports those navigating kink and alternative sex cultures, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and the specific pressures many men face.
Mark brings a direct but compassionate style to goal setting and problem solving. He helps people build confidence, try new ways of communicating, and make choices that reflect their values. Progress often comes from small, steady changes that fit into everyday life.

Clinical Approaches and Online Support
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer relationships. One common approach involves helping people identify patterns in their relationships and attachment needs, then practicing new ways of relating to reduce recurring conflict and worry. This work can help with anxiety, communication problems, and codependency issues.Another frequent focus is building self-esteem and agency through goal-focused steps. That means setting small, achievable actions that build confidence and help people make decisions that reflect their values. This approach suits people facing career uncertainty, life transitions, or who want steadier motivation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. Plans are adjusted as work unfolds so approaches stay practical and relevant.
