About Mark
Mark Sherling is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, evidence-based care. He frames therapy as a place to name what feels heavy and start making concrete changes. Mark writes plainly and works to help people feel less stuck and more capable in daily life.
He brings 13 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, and depression. He also helps with addictions, anger, bipolar challenges, trauma and abuse, and grief.
How Mark works
Parenting and intimacy-related concerns are included among his focus areas, along with career transitions and coping with life changes. Mark uses a person-centered style that emphasizes listening and creating a supportive space. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Sessions are practical and aimed at small, manageable steps that fit into everyday routines. His background includes long experience working with individuals in crisis and people facing compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles. He describes therapy as a place to recognize strengths and build toward positive growth.
Mark accepts clients in Georgia and works with international clients by offering several remote session formats. People who come to Mark can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and tools to use between sessions. The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs, with attention to immediate concerns and longer-term coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Mark uses person-centered techniques that begin with listening. This approach focuses on understanding a person’s experience and building a trusting working relationship. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk things through.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps people try small experiments and practice new skills that reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change reactions to stress. These techniques are goal-oriented and easy to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying different strategies and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules.
