About Mark
Mark Monroe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, anger, and self-esteem. Mark also works with people facing career shifts, bipolar challenges, and life adjustments.
He uses a straightforward, goal-focused approach in sessions. He listens to the immediate problem, then helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Together they try small, practical changes to see what helps day to day.
Mark draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. He also uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the individual and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. These methods guide short-term work and longer plans, depending on what a person wants.
Sessions are conversational and action-oriented. People can expect to talk through recent challenges, test new ways of responding, and agree on simple tasks between meetings. Progress is measured in concrete changes, like fewer panic moments, clearer boundaries, or better sleep.
Mark treats issues such as infidelity, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, and personality-related patterns as part of a practical plan. He supports those coping with grief, addiction, or major life shifts, helping them find specific steps to move forward.
How his approaches translate to online work
Mark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits that feed anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and short experiments to test new responses in daily life.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow what the person says matters most and the therapist listens without directing the goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is unsure about change; it helps clarify values and build commitment without pressure.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will review goals and preferences with each person and suggest whether CBT, client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, or a mix might fit best. This is a collaborative decision guided by what the person wants to achieve.
