About Mark

Mark Madry is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

With 47 years of professional experience, he draws on a broad set of therapeutic tools to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances and goals. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while supporting clients through transitions and difficult moments.

Mark combines well-established approaches such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address issues like relationship struggles, addiction, self-esteem concerns, parenting stress, career questions, and coping with loss.

He encourages a collaborative process that recognizes the courage it takes to seek change and aims to empower clients as they work toward clearer priorities and more fulfilling daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Mark uses Internal Family Systems to help clients explore different parts of themselves in a gentle, nonjudgmental way; this approach can be useful for working with trauma responses, inner conflict, and patterns that feel stuck. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify values, practice acceptance of difficult experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy is another thread in his work, focusing on how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotional regulation, which can be helpful for relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adjust techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments while engaging in thoughtful, evidence-informed therapy with a licensed professional.
