Mark Mazzoni, LPC

Mark Mazzoni is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 20 years of clinical experience to sessions. He uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, and relationship strain. He speaks plainly and aims to make therapy a step-by-step process that feels doable.

He begins by listening and teaming up with each person to identify the most pressing problem. From there he helps set small, achievable goals and practical steps to reach them. Homework and short tasks between sessions are often part of the plan so progress continues outside appointments.

Mark draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses client-centered techniques that emphasize listening and unconditional support. For clients who prefer it, he can incorporate existential ideas about meaning and life choices into the work.

His background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies and a Master of Science in Community Mental Health Counseling. He also completed two years of church-based Christian counseling training and may include faith-informed supports when clients request them.

Mark has worked in many settings with varied populations over two decades, including people facing serious mental health and substance use challenges. He aims to be genuine, nonjudgmental, and encouraging while helping people tackle one problem at a time.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided from his Georgia practice. He focuses on clear steps and steady progress so people can move toward their goals.

How practical approaches fit into online therapy

Mark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better; this approach often suits concerns like anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, and mood issues. Client-centered work focuses on listening, acceptance, and support so clients can explore feelings and make decisions at their own pace. Existential therapy looks at life meaning, choices, and values and can help when people face major life changes or questions about purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He works together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress happens. That collaboration helps make sure sessions feel useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter set-up is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing support between visits, and a flexible way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to practice skills consistently.
