About Mark
Mark Schachter is a licensed psychologist who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and ADHD. He works with people who are looking for clearer thinking, better concentration, or relief from persistent worry. He explains things plainly and treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Sessions begin with a conversation about what is most pressing for the person seeking help. Mark tailors the discussion and any suggested plan to each person’s specific needs.
Background and approach
He aims to make next steps practical and understandable rather than overwhelming. Across a long career he has supported people dealing with the aftereffects of trauma, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress. He also has experience related to autism and Asperger syndrome and intellectual disability.
That background informs how he listens and how he adjusts recommendations. Therapy with him often focuses on improving daily functioning, memory, attention, and coping skills. He helps people sort priorities, break down problems, and practice new ways of handling stressful moments.
The approach is collaborative and paced to what feels workable. Mark holds New York psychologist licensure, NY Psychologist 006424, and brings 40 years of professional experience. He offers sessions in English from his New York practice and uses straightforward language to keep conversations clear and focused.
Approaches to online care and what they involve
Two evidence-based techniques he often uses are cognitive strategies and skills for managing attention. Cognitive strategies help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different ways of thinking to reduce worry and low mood. Attention and concentration techniques target focus and memory by teaching practical exercises and daily routines that improve functioning.He also draws on trauma-informed methods to address the effects of past harm and brain injury. These approaches emphasize pacing, safety, and building coping skills so each person can work at a manageable rate and build resilience after difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist and client talk through goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they try methods and adjust them until the plan fits the persons life and needs.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue support during life changes, and practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and check progress remotely so ongoing work stays practical and focused.
