Mark Wagemaker, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Mark

Mark Wagemaker offers straightforward support for people ready to make real changes. He writes plainly and meets clients where they are. If stress, anxiety, grief, or questions about identity and relationships are getting in the way, he helps sort through what matters most.

Mark is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with 18 years of clinical experience in Georgia. He focuses on trauma and post-traumatic stress and on conditions that can show up as unexplained physical symptoms, persistent anxiety, or low mood.

Background and approach

He uses hypnotherapy along with other approaches to address painful memories and intense emotional reactions. His goal is to reduce what is holding someone back so daily life becomes more manageable. Mark treats a wide range of concerns including addiction, anger, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

He also works with people coping with career questions, life purpose, and major life changes. Additional attention is given to first responder and veteran issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and sexuality-related questions. Sessions are practical and tailored.

He listens first, then helps set clear goals and steps to reach them. The work draws on his clinical training, years of experience, and personal values to support each person’s journey toward more stable functioning. Mark accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

He offers several remote formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Mark often uses client-centered therapy, which puts the person’s priorities first and focuses on listening, understanding, and working together to set goals. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to name problems and decide what to change.

He also uses emotionally-focused therapy to look at how feelings shape relationships and responses. EFT can help when strong emotions or attachment patterns keep coming up and interfere with day-to-day functioning. Hypnotherapy is another tool he uses to address difficult memories and physical reactions that don’t have a clear medical cause; it aims to create new ways of relating to those memories and sensations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try different methods as needed, and adjust treatment based on the client’s goals and preferences. That shared planning helps clients feel more in control of the work.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care across locations. Many people find remote sessions reduce logistical stress and make it simpler to practice skills and follow through between meetings.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
