About Mark
Mark Wagemaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people ready to make real changes. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm. He meets people where they are and works toward clearer thinking and calmer days.
He brings 18 years of counseling experience to each session. His work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and substance-related concerns. He also supports people facing grief, career crossroads, sleep problems, intimacy concerns, and questions about sexuality and identity.
How Mark works
Mark uses client-centered methods that follow the person's pace and priorities. He also integrates emotionally focused strategies, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match the issue at hand. That mix allows him to shift stuck patterns, manage strong emotions, and rebuild a sense of control.
Practical tools and steady conversation are common parts of sessions. He can coach people through compassion fatigue, first responder stress, hospice or end-of-life concerns, and challenges linked to military service. Sessions aim to be direct and useful rather than abstract.
People describe his approach as grounded in life experience and faith without imposing beliefs. He combines training and personal perspective to help people move past repeated pain. If someone wants clear steps and steady support, he offers a straightforward path forward.

How Mark's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify next steps; this approach is useful for relationship stress, self-esteem, and life changes.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships. It can be helpful for reducing repeated cycles of hurt and for improving emotional connection and regulation.
Hypnotherapy is used to guide focused attention and relaxation so people can work on trauma responses, sleep problems, and stress reactions. Sessions tend to use calm, guided techniques aimed at changing how a person responds to difficult memories or symptoms.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust as progress is seen. Clients and therapist decide together which tools feel most helpful and practical.
Online care offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, coaching-style guidance, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and changing schedules.
