Mark Madry, LCSW

Mark Madry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. He brings decades of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate space so people can talk about what matters most to them.

He listens first and tailors the work to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings. He encourages small changes that add up over time and supports people while they practice new ways of coping.

Mark draws on several approaches to guide therapy, including acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-focused work, and emotionally-focused methods. He uses these tools to help people manage painful feelings, repair important relationships, and build clearer goals for day-to-day life.

People come to him for many concerns such as addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career worries, and coping with life changes. He also addresses more specific areas like abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, and grief after loss. The focus is on what the person wants to change and how to get there.

Mark speaks English and works from his New York practice. He frames the work as collaborative, practical, and paced to each person’s comfort and capacity.

To begin, people are invited to describe their current struggles and what they hope to achieve, and then decide together on the next steps.

How approach and online care fit together

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current bonds and communication, and can help people improve important relationships and feel safer connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep momentum between sessions and to support steady progress toward goals.
