contents In this paper, we develop a unified method for obtaining and proving $m$-dissections of mock theta functions. Our approach builds upon a transformation formula for Appell--Lerch sums due to Hickerson and Mortenson, which allows these sums to be expressed as linear combinations of Appell--Lerch sums together with suitable theta products. By systematically exploiting this representation, and through extensive symbolic computations carried out in Maple, we derive explicit dissection identities in a direct and effective manner. We focus exclusively on the cases of $2$- and $3$-dissections.
