About Marc
Marc Sherman is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and depression. Marc works with adults who are coping with life changes and wanting clearer direction.
Marc’s style is straightforward and respectful. He treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions aim to be practical and focused so people leave with tools they can use right away.
How Marc works
In therapy he draws on approaches that include attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix lets him address how past relationships shape current patterns while also teaching concrete skills for thinking and behavior. He uses emotionally focused and Gottman-informed methods when relationship dynamics are central.
Marc often helps people untangle communication problems, commitment worries, and family of origin issues. He also supports those dealing with divorce or separation, fatherhood questions, and feelings of isolation or jealousy. Work can include rebuilding trust, improving connection, and setting realistic boundaries.
Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer perspective. Marc helps people set achievable goals, practice new ways of relating, and track small improvements over time. He encourages steady progress and honest conversation about what does and doesn’t work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Marc often blends attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions, which can help when trust, abandonment, or connection are concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that fit a person's needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust tools or focus based on what is helping.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing interactions, phone can be a low-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat can serve as short check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These formats allow therapy to fit around work, parenting, or travel while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
