Mark Mazzoni

Mark Mazzoni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with twenty years of experience in mental health. He draws on life experience as a parent of five and formal training to support people through stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and career concerns. His style is straightforward and team-oriented, focusing on practical steps clients can use between sessions.

Mark describes therapy as collaborative. He and the client identify the problem, set small achievable goals, and build new steps as progress is made. Homework and therapeutic tasks are commonly part of the work to help change habits and test new approaches in daily life.

His education includes a bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies and a master’s degree in Community Mental Health Counseling. He also completed two years of Christian Counseling training that was certified through his church, which he can incorporate when requested by spiritual clients.

Clinically, he uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered approaches along with ideas from Adlerian psychology. Sessions emphasize honest communication, nonjudgmental listening, and practical problem solving tailored to each person’s needs.

Mark has worked with people facing mood disorders, trauma and abuse, obsessive and compulsive concerns, substance use, chronic pain and illness, and challenges like parenting stress, relationship strain, and career transitions. He aims to help clients prioritize urgent problems and move forward one step at a time.

How his approaches guide online counseling

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are. The therapist offers empathy, genuine responses, and encouragement while the client sets the pace and goals. This approach helps when people need support to clarify values, feelings, or life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete techniques to test and change them. It often involves homework and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing how they worked, and adjusting plans together.

For practical matters, confirm which session formats are currently available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent and apply new skills between appointments.
