About Mark

Mark Madry is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. He speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand each person’s situation. He aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can talk through immediate concerns and practical next steps.

With 47 years of experience and his New York LCSW license, Mark adapts sessions to fit what each client needs.

Background and approach

He uses a mix of approaches so conversations are grounded and useful. Sessions include clear goals and straightforward techniques rather than vague theory. Mark blends methods that encourage acceptance, build stronger emotional connections, and help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

He works at a pace set by the client and focuses on skills that can be used between sessions. The work is collaborative and hands-on, not just talk. Clients can expect direct feedback, guided exercises, and support for practical problems such as communication, coping with loss, or managing overwhelming emotions.

His style is calm and steady, with attention to respect and sensitivity. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions. It focuses on values and small steps toward a more meaningful life and can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships. It can be useful for people struggling with trust, communication, or recurring relationship patterns by helping identify needs and how to meet them more clearly.

Mark also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's perspective and emphasizes empathy and respect. This approach helps people feel heard while they work through goals at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as work progresses. That collaborative process helps tailor tools and steps to the individual situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and review material exchanged in writing. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver practical skills, check progress, and keep therapy focused and consistent.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
