Mark Monroe, LCSW

Mark Monroe is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kentucky. He brings eight years of professional experience to his work and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns. Mark listens without judgment and strives to make the first step into therapy feel less overwhelming for those who reach out.

He creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be named and examined. Sessions are conversational and practical. Mark uses clear, straightforward language to help clients understand patterns that keep them stuck and to try small changes that can make a difference.

Mark often incorporates client-centered methods that follow the client’s lead, and he uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational interviewing is part of his approach for clients facing ambivalence about change, such as with addictions or lifestyle shifts.

People come to him for a range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues like jealousy and infidelity, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, paranoia, and personality-related problems. He also supports those managing bipolar symptoms, anger, self-esteem, and career stress.

Mark helps each person set clear, manageable goals and checks in on progress. He encourages practical steps that can be used between sessions to build momentum. If you are considering therapy, he asks that you take the continue button on this profile and complete the short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Approaches that guide online work

Mark uses client-centered therapy to follow what the client brings to sessions and to build a respectful, empathetic working relationship. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and to be heard without judgment.

He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, and unhelpful behavior patterns by practicing specific techniques and experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there he will recommend techniques and adjust them as needed in collaboration with the client.

Because the session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also accommodate different communication preferences, such as talking without video or focusing on spoken rather than written exercises.
