About Mark
Mark Monroe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with eight years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, addictions, and anger. Mark focuses on practical conversations that help people manage strong emotions and recurring problems.
He invites clients to talk through what they are feeling and what gets in the way of change. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, new coping steps, and small behavior changes that add up over time. Mark uses straightforward techniques rather than jargon, so people can use what they learn right away.
Mark draws from client-centered work to listen closely and from cognitive behavioral ideas to test and change unhelpful thinking. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change, especially around addictions or habits they want to break. These methods guide the work rather than a single fixed plan.
People come to him for problems like relationship hurt, jealousy or infidelity concerns, obsessive thoughts, struggles with mood swings or bipolar symptoms, and dealing with personality-related difficulties. He also supports those coping with major life changes and career strain.
In sessions Mark focuses on clear goals and practical steps. He encourages regular check-ins on progress and adjusts approaches when something isn’t working. If someone wants to begin, he asks them to complete the site's brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Mark uses client-centered therapy to listen and help clients clarify what matters to them. This approach focuses on the person's concerns and priorities and is useful when people need space to sort through feelings like anger, grief, or relationship hurt.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot thinking patterns that feed anger and anxiety and to try small behavior experiments. CBT offers concrete steps people can practice between sessions to test new ways of responding.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or torn about making a change. It supports people in finding their own reasons to move forward, which can be especially useful for addictions or repeated behaviors that cause conflict.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, background, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
The practical benefit of online sessions is being able to fit therapy into a busy life. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Ask during the matching process about session length, whether video or phone is available, and what scheduling looks like. Online options can make it easier to keep regular appointments, manage short check-ins, and continue work without a long commute.
