Marc Sherman, LMFT
Compassionate, practical therapy for life transitions
About Marc
Marc Sherman is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
Marc aims to meet people where they are and help them find clearer ways forward. He treats common life transitions and the hard feelings that come with them.
That includes coping with separation, midlife shifts, fatherhood questions, and finding purpose after big changes. He also helps people who feel isolated, stuck in patterns of jealousy or control, or challenged by family of origin issues.
In sessions he centers the person’s own knowledge of their life. He listens for strengths and moments that can be built on.
He also uses practical tools to change patterns that cause stress and conflict, like thoughts that fuel anxiety or habits that harm relationships. Marc mixes talking and active practice.
That might mean learning new ways to handle conflict, trying small behavior changes between sessions, or noticing how early attachment experiences shape present relationships. He uses clear, plain language and keeps the focus on what will help most in everyday life.
Those who choose him can expect a calm, direct approach and steady attention to goals. He encourages small, doable steps and checks progress together.
Marc supports people who want practical change and clearer connections in their lives.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early bonds shape current relationships. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and supports new ways of connecting when old patterns cause pain.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping them name what matters and decide on next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend one or a blend of methods. Clients are invited to try approaches and give feedback so the plan can be adjusted collaboratively.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video lets people see nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for busy lives and varied routines.
