01About Mark
Mark Sherling is a licensed professional counselor with 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, and life changes. He focuses on practical, straightforward conversations that help clients spot strengths and make manageable changes. Sessions are calm and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what a person can do right now to feel better.
He has a long history of working with people in crisis. That experience shaped a simple belief: therapy is for anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed.
Background and approach
He encourages people who have stayed in unhealthy patterns to try different choices and to build small, steady progress. Mark describes his approach as person centered with a focus on cognitive behavioral therapy. In practice that means listening first, then helping people test new ways of thinking and behaving.
He uses clear, step-by-step strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Common concerns he addresses include depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. He also helps with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career transitions.
The work balances immediate coping skills with longer-term personal growth. Sessions are offered in English and are available to clients in Georgia and internationally. The goal is practical progress that fits each person's life and responsibilities.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Mark uses person centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Person centered work means the conversation follows the client's concerns and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection to help people clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through pressing worries.Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. Online sessions can include short homework tasks, symptom tracking, and step-by-step skill practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, or interrupt addictive patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods together, and adjust based on what helps most. Goal setting and feedback guide the work so changes fit the client's day-to-day life.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, mood check-ins, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
