Mark Alessandroni, LCSW, CSW

Mark Alessandroni is a licensed clinical social worker based in Georgia. He brings 35 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strains, depression, and ADHD. He speaks English and works with each person respectfully and with sensitivity.

He uses practical talk and tailored plans rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions focus on improving day-to-day coping, reducing distressing symptoms, and addressing recurring relationship patterns that cause pain. He aims to make each conversation straightforward and solution-minded.

Mark blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood, with Imago Relationship Therapy, which highlights repetitive patterns in close relationships. He adapts these approaches to the needs of the person in the room and the problems they bring.

Over three decades in practice have included supporting people through grief, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, midlife questions, and trauma-related concerns. He also works with issues such as process addictions, panic attacks, social anxiety, sexuality, and multicultural concerns.

Getting started involves a simple online match and scheduling step. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and practical details about formats should be confirmed before booking. Mark aims to help people take realistic steps toward feeling better and finding clearer direction.

How CBT and Imago inform online therapy

Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns repeat in adult partnerships. It uses structured dialogue to help people name those patterns and practice new ways of relating. This approach can be useful for addressing repeated conflicts, communication breakdowns, and wounds from past relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or low mood. CBT is often helpful for stress management, panic attacks, and coping with addictive urges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether Imago, CBT, or a blend fits the situation and goals. That conversation takes into account symptoms, personal preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before.

Session format details should be confirmed before booking, as formats are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue therapy during life transitions while focusing on concrete skills and relationship patterns that matter most.
