About Marcus

Marcus Clark is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, mood disorders, relationship challenges, and trauma.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience, he draws on practical skills to help clients address issues such as depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other concerns that affect daily functioning.

Marcus earned a Master of Social Work from Kennesaw State University in 2015 and has worked across a range of treatment settings, including outpatient mental health, addictive disease programs, community mental health centers, community and home-based services, and correctional facilities for both juvenile and adult populations.

His background includes supporting people with substance use and process addictions as well as a variety of mental health conditions such as PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, adjustment and conduct disorders, and personality concerns. He uses a strengths-based, holistic orientation that emphasizes clients' capacity for change and growth.

Marcus commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused approaches to tailor care to each person's needs.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Marcus often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working online. CBT involves identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing self-destructive behaviors. These approaches translate well to remote formats and can be paired with mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and stress tolerance.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, evaluate which methods feel most useful, and adjust techniques over time so care reflects the client's needs, preferences, and progress.

Online therapy with Marcus is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to attend sessions from home or between commitments, while still allowing therapists to use structured interventions, skills coaching, and regular check-ins to support ongoing change.
