About Mark

Mark Monroe is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky. He has eight years of professional experience helping people manage stress and anxiety and navigate parenting challenges. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak freely about what’s on their mind.

He uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. That might mean identifying unhelpful thought patterns, setting small goals, or focusing on what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and paced to the person’s needs rather than a preset formula. Mark often helps with grief and loss, depression, and issues that affect relationships and intimacy. He also works with concerns like addictions, anger, and self-esteem.

Additional focuses include infidelity, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, and personality disorder-related struggles. In session he draws from client-centered therapy to keep the focus on the person’s own goals. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to teach skills for changing thoughts and behaviors.

Motivational interviewing can help when someone is weighing change or needs support finding momentum. People looking for online care can meet with him by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them clarify goals and values, which can be useful for parenting concerns and relationship matters.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and trouble managing daily routines.

Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change. It helps uncover personal reasons for change and build motivation step by step.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps find the best fit over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or parenting duties and let people use the format that feels most comfortable. For many, this variety improves access and keeps momentum between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
