About Mark
Mark Sherling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people find steadiness during hard times. He works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. His tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who feel overwhelmed and want clear steps forward.
He approaches therapy from a person-centered perspective, which means he listens closely and builds on each person’s strengths.
Background and approach
He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions tend to focus on real-life problems and small, manageable changes clients can try between meetings. With 13 years of experience, he has spent a lot of time supporting people in crisis and helping them move toward healthier choices.
He also works with issues such as parenting strain, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Mark aims to help people recognize what’s working and what needs to change. In sessions he listens, reflects, and offers practical strategies clients can use right away.
The goal is steady, sustainable progress rather than quick fixes. He provides services in English and accepts international clients. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are scheduled after a short matching questionnaire is completed.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Mark combines a person-centered approach with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Person-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and helping clients recognize their own strengths. It’s useful for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed and need a supportive space to sort things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes setting small goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking progress, which helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful and realistic for daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is convenient for quick check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules and support steady progress.
