About Mark

Mark Monroe is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky who brings eight years of professional experience to his work with people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

He focuses on stress and anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes, along with relationship-related issues such as intimacy difficulties, infidelity, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, and personality disorders.

He uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing to guide the therapeutic process. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop practical strategies for change.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and respect for each person’s pace and goals. For individuals beginning therapy, he acknowledges the courage it takes to start and works to make initial steps manageable and clear.

Availability and formats vary by schedule and location in Kentucky, and Mark communicates in English.

Approaches for Change in an Online Setting

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is focused on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical skills to alter those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and certain coping challenges. Client-centered therapy centers on creating a supportive, empathic space where the client’s perspective guides the work and personal insights are encouraged to emerge. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation to change, often used with addictions or when making life adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work itself. The therapist will explore the client’s goals, preferences, and history to determine which combination of methods feels most helpful, and will adjust techniques over time in collaboration with the client to support progress and fit.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and for how clients prefer to communicate. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow continuity when travel or relocation occurs within the same region, and give clients choices about pace and format as they engage in treatment.
