About Marc
Marc Sherman is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with seven years of clinical experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He emphasizes practical steps and steady support so people can feel more capable in daily life.
Clients meet a therapist who views them as the expert on their own story. Marc focuses on building on strengths and naming small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at helping people notice patterns and try new responses. He uses a mix of approaches that includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to look at how emotions shape relationships and personal choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work appear in sessions when practical skills or clearer thinking will help.
The Gottman Method is also part of his toolkit for people addressing communication or relationship concerns. Marc pays attention to how early relationships and attachment shape current behavior. He helps people recognize automatic reactions and practice different ways of relating to themselves and others.
Work may include emotion-focused exercises, communication practice, and steps to manage anxiety or low mood. His aim is to make therapy feel like a collaboration. Marc supports people as they try changes between sessions, checks progress, and adjusts the approach to fit real-life needs.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online care
Marc uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with the emotions that drive their reactions. EFT focuses on emotional experience and how people connect, which can help with anxiety, relationship tensions, and feelings of loneliness. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up now; this helps people understand why they react a certain way and practice new responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss goals and preferences to choose methods that fit each person. Together they decide whether to focus on emotions, attachment patterns, practical skills from CBT, or a combination of approaches as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues for emotion-focused work and role practice. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer shorter, flexible touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
