About Mark

Mark Mazzoni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience in mental health care. He takes a collaborative, straightforward approach and focuses on clear steps clients can follow. Sessions often include practical tasks and occasional homework to help people move forward between meetings.

He aims to listen without judgment and to be genuine and encouraging during the work. Mazzoni's background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies and a Master’s degree in Community Mental Health Counseling.

Background and approach

He also completed two years of training in Christian Counseling with certification through his church. He draws on that training when clients ask for faith-integrated support. In sessions he uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of Existential thinking to address problems.

He helps clients break issues into small goals, tackle priorities, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Tasks between sessions are common and designed to build momentum. He has worked across many settings and with a wide range of clinical concerns, including mood disorders, addiction, trauma, anxiety, and issues around sleep and self-esteem.

That variety informs a practical style that values steady progress over quick fixes. Mazzoni describes himself as a natural encourager who expects improvement when clients engage in the process. He emphasizes teamwork, honest communication, and setting achievable steps toward each person’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy is about being heard and respected. The therapist offers warm, non-judgmental listening and works to understand each person's experience before setting goals. This approach can help when someone needs steady support and clearer self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing actions that keep problems going. It is practical and task-oriented, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, addiction, and sleep problems. Existential ideas are used at times to help people clarify values and life direction when they feel stuck.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting tasks, timelines, and techniques as progress is made so the work feels useful and manageable.

Online therapy makes this collaborative process easier to fit into daily life. Video and phone sessions let people have live conversations, while live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and homework discussion between sessions. These options offer flexibility, reduce travel time, and help people keep consistent contact with a licensed professional when schedules or mobility are limited.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
