About Mark

Mark Lawless is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with 25 years of professional experience. He works with people facing addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and the stresses that come with major life changes, and he brings particular experience supporting those involved in 12 Step recovery and professionals or caregivers dealing with compassion fatigue.

He offers practical, strength-based support that centers the client's own knowledge of their life and goals. Mark emphasizes motivation, confidence building, and coping strategies tailored to each person's circumstances, helping clients identify triggers, set achievable goals, and develop new habits that support recovery and emotional well-being.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Mark recognizes that first step as meaningful. He aims to create a collaborative space where clients' existing strengths are acknowledged and mobilized so they can work toward sustainable change and improved day-to-day functioning.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Mark Lawless works with a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to addictions and mood-related challenges. For addiction-related concerns he focuses on structured, goal-oriented methods that help clients identify triggers, strengthen motivation, and build recovery skills. For depression, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes he uses approaches that emphasize practical skill building, emotion management, and gradual behavior change to improve daily functioning and resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mark collaborates with each client to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting the plan over time as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats offer flexibility in how sessions are arranged and allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own communities, supporting consistent care and ongoing work toward recovery and well-being.
