About Adam
Adam MacKenzie is an ID Psychologist (1171360) and ND Psychologist (642) licensed in North Dakota with six years of psychotherapy training experience and one year of licensed practice. He helps people who are feeling stuck by focusing on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes.
Adam listens for what matters most to each person and then uses practical conversations to clarify next steps. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try different actions.
He also works with concerns around attachment, commitment and control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Veterans and people with military backgrounds are listed among his focus areas. Adam pays attention to the patterns that keep someone stuck and to small changes that can reduce daily stress.
People can expect direct exploration of situations that cause conflict or anxiety, and practice of new behaviors between sessions. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when feelings or readiness for change are central.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and choose actions that align with those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone feels uncertain about life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and improving daily functioning through concrete skill practice.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to strong feelings and how they shape relationships and self-understanding. It can help when emotional responses or attachment patterns are central to the problems someone brings.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the approach over time. That decision is collaborative and based on what the client wants to change.
