About Marc

Marc Sherman is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with seven years of clinical experience.

Marc helps people who are facing life transitions and who want clearer direction or relief from persistent worry.

He centers sessions on the person in front of him, treating each client as the expert on their own story. That means listening first, then working together to find small, doable steps forward.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and aimed at building skills people can use between meetings. Marc draws on attachment-based ideas to help clients understand patterns in close relationships. He also uses client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in each person’s priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when practical tools for managing thoughts and behaviors will help. Many clients come for help with communication problems, commitment worries, or issues tied to family of origin. He also supports people dealing with divorce or separation, fatherhood challenges, and feelings of isolation or jealousy.

Work often mixes emotional understanding with concrete practice. Marc aims for therapy that fits a person's life. He focuses on building coping skills, improving relationships, and finding clearer purpose.

The approach is steady, collaborative, and focused on real-world change.

Online support

How attachment work and practical therapy translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationship patterns shape current emotions and reactions; online sessions can make it easier to talk about those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities so conversations stay grounded in what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is well suited to remote work because homework and skill practice can be assigned between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they check in on what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls can work with lower bandwidth, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging lets someone share thoughts between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make regular contact more manageable.
