About Mark
Mark Madry is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York. He brings decades of experience to his meetings and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and addiction. He aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Mark adapts his approach to the person in front of him rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. He listens for practical patterns that cause pain and works with clients to build clearer ways of coping.
Background and approach
Conversations often include examining unhelpful thoughts, noticing emotional responses, and trying new behaviors between sessions. Over his long career he has supported people with relationship and intimacy concerns, body image and eating issues, parenting strain, career stress, and identity matters such as LGBT-related issues. He also helps with problems that come up after loss, illness, or major life change.
His background includes work with a broad range of personality and attachment issues. Mark uses several well-known approaches to guide sessions, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance-oriented strategies, and attachment-focused work. He blends these methods to fit each person’s goals and pace.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with real steps to try in daily life. He holds a New York LCSW credential and brings 47 years of professional experience to his practice. People who want steady, experienced support and clear, practical tools often find his style helpful.
How Mark’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Mark often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit patterns that get in the way of daily life.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice uncomfortable feelings without being driven by them. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action, which can help with stress, grief, and life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and do more in-depth work, while phone calls can fit into a busy schedule or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into daily life.
