Mark Wagemaker, LPC

Mark Wagemaker helps people who are ready to make real change in their lives. He welcomes those who feel stuck by anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, or persistent body symptoms that don’t have a clear medical cause. He writes plainly and works directly to reduce what is getting in the way of daily life.

Mark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience. He uses hypnotherapy and other trauma-focused methods to address post-traumatic stress and adverse childhood events. He also supports people coping with depression, anger, addictions, relationship strain, sexual concerns, and work or career stress.

Sessions center on each person’s goals and pace. He treats each client as an individual and helps them discover practical next steps. He describes therapy as collaborative work where tools and techniques are adapted to fit a person’s life and values.

Mark draws on training, life experience, and his Christian roots to shape his approach. That background informs his style, but treatment focuses on the client’s priorities and what they want to change. He also brings experience helping first responders, veterans, and people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns.

He practices in Georgia and offers services in English. People who want to begin are asked to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to therapist availability.

How his approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are and following their priorities in sessions. Online or in person, this means conversations begin with what matters most to the client and progress at their pace.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift patterns that affect close relationships. It is useful when relationship strain, intimacy issues, or strong emotions are getting in the way of connection.

Hypnotherapy uses guided imagery and focused attention to address trauma responses, anxiety, and habit-related issues. In practice it can help reduce troubling symptoms and make other therapeutic work easier to do.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest techniques that fit those aims. This is collaborative rather than a fixed plan, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions into a busy schedule and easier access for people who live far from the therapist. Because specific session formats were not listed in the original biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to keep appointments, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel on a workday.
