Mark Madry, LCSW

Mark Madry, LCSW, offers straightforward, respectful support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, and life changes. He focuses on helping individuals who want practical ways to feel better and move forward. He approaches sessions with compassion and without judgment. He encourages small, doable steps so change feels possible.

With 47 years of experience, Mark draws on several therapy methods to match each person's needs. He listens first, then shapes conversations and goals to fit what matters most to the client. Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying new behaviors, and practicing skills that reduce overwhelm.

Mark also works with concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and blended family stress, caregiver strain, addictions, body image, and career challenges. He brings attention to attachment and commitment struggles as part of everyday problems. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among his additional focus areas for people navigating life stage transitions.

His style is practical and person-centered. Clients can expect a steady, respectful presence and a plan that responds to progress and setbacks. He aims to help people build coping strategies they can use between sessions.

Mark is licensed as an LCSW in New York and conducts work from that regional perspective. He offers care in English and does not take international clients. To begin, he asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mark commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then taking steps that match personal values. It can help with stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those aims. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so clients take an active role in shaping their care.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm session formats before booking since current session options were not specified. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about how you prefer to meet and what will make sessions realistic for your routine.
