Mark Alessandroni , LCSW, CSW

Mark Alessandroni is a licensed social worker practicing in Georgia with 30 years of professional experience. He holds LCSW and CSW credentials - LCSW indicates a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW denotes a certified social work credential - and applies that background to support people facing a range of challenges.

Mark has worked with individuals contending with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, navigating relationship difficulties, and managing depression. His practice also attends to related life concerns such as caregiver stress, divorce and separation, forgiveness, end-of-life issues, and questions about life purpose and sexuality.

He approaches every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and adapts conversation and treatment planning to match each client’s circumstances and goals. Whether addressing panic attacks, trauma symptoms, process addictions, or midlife transitions, he focuses on practical strategies and collaborative planning tailored to the individual.

Mark recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and honors that step. He aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their concerns and work toward clearer direction and more effective coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mark incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or addictive urges. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and homework that can produce measurable coping tools.

He also uses Imago Relationship Therapy to support couples and partners in improving communication and emotional connection. Imago work guides partners to listen with empathy, uncover underlying needs, and practice new ways of relating that reduce conflict and foster mutual understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mark works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the plan over time based on progress and client feedback.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to attend sessions from home or while traveling. These formats allow clients to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives and different time zones when applicable.
