Marcus Clark, LCSW, CSW

Marcus Clark is a licensed clinical social worker who offers practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and mood struggles. He has seven years of clinical experience and works with adults and adolescents. Marcus focuses on helping people take small, doable steps toward stability and clearer routines.

He uses straightforward methods that emphasize strengths and real-life skills. Sessions often involve learning tools to manage strong emotions, reduce cravings, or break unhelpful thought patterns. Marcus draws on work with outpatient mental health, addiction programs, community mental health centers, home-based services, and correctional settings when shaping a plan.

His background includes a Master of Social Work from Kennesaw State University, earned in 2015. Marcus holds the credentials LCSW and CSW in Georgia and has experience across mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, conduct and adjustment concerns, and substance and process addictions.

In therapy he blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods. He also integrates 12-step perspectives when that fits someone’s goals and values. Marcus usually builds a plan that matches the person’s daily life and priorities.

People who choose him can expect a practical, strengths-based approach. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, clearer decision steps, and gradual progress toward the goals you set together.

How these approaches translate to online work

Marcus commonly uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this often looks like setting small experiments and practicing new habits between sessions. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for intense feelings and urges.

Motivational interviewing is another tool he uses to help people clarify their own reasons for change and boost readiness before committing to a plan. These approaches are practical and goal-oriented, and Marcus will work together with each person to choose what fits their needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to work well through remote sessions, and Marcus will discuss how to structure meetings so they match your daily routine and goals.
