Mark Alessandroni

Mark Alessandroni is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with 35 years of experience. He focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. He talks with people respectfully and without judgment to find practical next steps.

He uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work. That means identifying what feels most urgent, making a plan, and checking whether the plan is helping. Sessions are tailored to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.

Mark draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses Imago Relationship Therapy ideas to look at how patterns in relationships form and how to improve communication. These approaches are applied in ways that match the person's needs and pace.

He has worked with a wide range of concerns over his career, including caregiver stress, divorce and separation, infidelity, grief and end-of-life issues, and substance or process addictions. He also supports people dealing with isolation, life-purpose questions, and panic or post-traumatic stress.

Mark aims to make the first steps feel manageable. He will listen, help set clear goals, and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used so scheduling can follow the person’s availability.

How CBT and Imago ideas guide online work

Mark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep stress, anxiety, or depression going, then practices small, specific changes to test what helps. He also draws on Imago Relationship Therapy concepts to look at how communication patterns form and to practice clearer, less reactive ways of connecting with others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. If something isn't working, the plan can be adjusted together.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about which session options will work best for scheduling and for the type of work you want to do.
