Mark Wagemaker, LPC

Mark Wagemaker, LPC, helps people who want real change in their lives. He focuses on relieving problems that get in the way of daily living, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, addiction, sleep disruption, parenting strain, and career uncertainty.

He has practiced for 18 years and centers work on each person’s unique path. Sessions emphasize practical tools and clear steps rather than long talks that go in circles. Mark uses hypnotherapy among other tools to address traumatic memories and patterns that keep returning.

His approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas, with mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice and change habits. He describes trauma, post-traumatic stress, and adverse childhood experiences as common roots for unexplained anxiety and body symptoms, and offers focused methods to reduce their impact.

Mark mentions life experience and Christian roots as influences on his work and combines those with professional training to guide sessions. He also lists a range of practice areas that include first responder and veteran issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, sexuality, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are offered in English and he works with clients in Georgia as well as international clients. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure the format fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's perspective first and focuses on what matters most to that person. It involves listening closely and helping people find their own answers, which can ease decision-making and improve relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in close connections and helps people notice and change the interactions that cause pain. EFT can be useful when emotions get stuck or lead to repeated arguments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something is not working. This keeps the process collaborative and focused on practical change.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people work with licensed professionals across locations, which may be useful for those seeking specific experience such as trauma-focused care or veteran-related issues.
