About Mark
Mark Monroe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience helping people handle difficult life moments. He practices in Kentucky and focuses on clear, practical ways to reduce stress and manage anxiety. He also helps people dealing with depression, addictions, grief, and parenting concerns.
Mark keeps sessions straightforward and supportive. He creates a calm space where clients can talk through upsetting thoughts and feelings. He emphasizes listening first, then working together to find steps that feel doable.
Background and approach
In therapy he draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thought patterns and small behavior changes. Motivational Interviewing helps when a client feels stuck or unsure about change.
Mark regularly addresses intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes. He also offers support around more specific concerns like infidelity, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, and personality disorder-related struggles. Sessions focus on practical tools and clear goals.
Parents who feel overwhelmed or unsure about parenting choices can expect concrete strategies and a nonjudgmental conversation about what might work for their family.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients feel heard and can explore thoughts at their own pace. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear, short exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. The therapist uses questions and summaries to clarify values and boost motivation for small steps forward.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try different methods, and adjust plans based on what works for the client. Clients help set the pace and choose practical strategies that fit their lives.
Online therapy offers flexibility and simple ways to fit sessions into a busy day. Video calls let you see facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter updates, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to maintain regular work on goals from wherever someone is located.
