Mark Madry, LCSW

Mark Madry is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. He offers steady, practical support and aims to make therapy a straightforward place to talk about what matters. His approach is patient and respectful, paced to each person's needs.

With 47 years of experience, Mark uses methods that focus on thoughts, values, and relationships. He often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening shape how he responds in sessions.

In a typical meeting he listens first, then helps break down worries into manageable steps. He works with people facing addictions, relationship or intimacy concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. He also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and major losses.

Mark adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. He aims to build practical skills for coping, communication, and emotional regulation. Over time the work focuses less on crisis management and more on sustainable routines and choices.

People meet him for phone or video sessions, live chat, or text messaging when that format fits their life. He practices from New York and speaks English. The emphasis is on clear, steady steps toward better functioning and clearer priorities.

Therapeutic approaches used in online care

Mark commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain stress and anxiety. CBT helps break problems into smaller parts and builds specific coping steps that can be practiced between sessions.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when difficult feelings remain. ACT is helpful for people coping with grief, chronic worries, or major life changes who want a clearer sense of direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, daily challenges, and preferred ways of working, then adapt techniques collaboratively. That means methods may shift over time as needs and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
