About Mark
Mark Sherling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on practical, evidence-based care. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. He emphasizes helping individuals find strengths and make steady changes.
Mark draws on a person-centered way of working. That means he listens first and adapts to each person's needs. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people notice thoughts and patterns that feed distress and to practice different ways of responding.
Background and approach
He has 13 years of experience, including sustained work with people in crisis. That background informs how he manages intense moments and helps people build coping skills. Sessions are practical and focused on what a person can do between meetings to feel better.
Mark aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk through anger, relationship strain, parenting stress, career shifts, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue. He supports people dealing with bipolar mood concerns and those adjusting to loss or major life changes. People who choose Mark usually want clear techniques and steady support rather than abstract discussion.
He helps set small goals, track progress, and revise plans as needed. The tone in sessions is direct but respectful, and the emphasis is on usable strategies that fit a person's daily life.
What Mark works with
Everything Mark lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Mark's practice.
How evidence-based methods work online
Mark commonly blends a person-centered stance with Cognitive Behavioral approaches. Person-centered work focuses on listening and shaping sessions around a person's needs, helping build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive Behavioral strategies involve identifying patterns of thought and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve mood.Those two approaches pair well: one creates a supportive space, the other gives concrete skills to use between sessions. Deciding which methods to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, preferences, and life demands, and then adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief reflections, or ongoing tracking between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work days, busy parenting schedules, or travel.
