01About Mark
Mark Wagemaker helps people who are ready to make real changes in their lives. He welcomes people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship strain and wants to move toward a more satisfying life. Mark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of practice and offers straightforward, practical support.
He focuses on trauma and post-traumatic stress, especially when anxiety or body symptoms appear without a clear physical cause.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with addiction, anger, sleep problems, parenting stress, career transition, and questions about sexuality and intimacy. First responder issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and challenges faced by veterans are additional areas of focus. In sessions he centers the person in front of him and listens for what matters most.
He uses approaches that include client-centered work, emotionally-focused methods, hypnotherapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. The goal is to find which methods fit each person and to apply them in ways that feel useful and understandable. Mark draws on many years of clinical work, life experience, and personal faith to guide his approach.
He describes therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s goals set the direction. Practical tools and short-term strategies are offered alongside deeper work when needed. People who want clear steps, compassionate listening, and help moving past old patterns often find this style helpful.
Mark works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients by arranging sessions that fit the person’s schedule.

04Online support
Practical approaches for online trauma and stress work
Mark uses client-centered work to focus on what matters to each person, helping them set goals and choose steps that feel doable. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to the individual's needs. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to look at patterns in relationships and how feelings shape reactions; it can help people improve closeness, manage anger, and respond differently to stress. Hypnotherapy is offered as a tool to access deeper focus and reduce the intensity of traumatic memories or persistent symptoms when that feels appropriate.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will help assess symptoms, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Many people move through a few different techniques over time as needs change and progress is made.
Online sessions provide flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suits people who prefer typing or want brief in-the-moment support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or irregular schedules while still using the clinical approaches described above.
