About Marc

Marc Sherman is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns, and he works with clients facing major life changes and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

His approach treats the client as the expert of their own story while offering clinical guidance and practical strategies. Marc draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person's needs, emphasizing collaboration and strengths-based work.

He also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment struggles, infidelity, family-of-origin dynamics, fatherhood-related concerns, and midlife questions about purpose and direction. Marc aims to create a supportive space for people taking the often-difficult first steps toward greater fulfillment and resilience.

The therapeutic process with Marc centers on identifying practical tools for coping and building confidence while attending to emotional patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing. He encourages clients to use their existing strengths and to try new ways of thinking and relating that can lead to clearer goals and more satisfying daily life.

Online Therapy Approaches and Practical Benefits



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and building coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and interactions, helping people understand and shift how they relate to others when dealing with issues like abandonment or attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marc works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, and together they decide which methods to emphasize so therapy aligns with the client's needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during life transitions, and stay connected when in-person visits are impractical. The variety of formats supports different communication styles and makes it easier to maintain consistency in the therapeutic work.
