About Mark
Mark Schachter is a New York psychologist with four decades of clinical experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. He works with individuals facing trauma, depression, parenting strain, attention and concentration problems, and memory concerns. He aims to listen first and shape treatment around each person’s needs.
He keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. Conversations and goals are tailored to what matters most to the client. He focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings to reduce worry and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
Mark draws on tried methods that emphasize skills and real-world practice. He often helps clients break large problems into manageable tasks and build routines that support concentration and mood. For clients dealing with past harm or post-traumatic stress, he pays close attention to pacing and safety in the work.
Over 40 years, he has worked across clinical settings and community care in Florida and New York. That experience informs a calm, steady approach when addressing complex issues such as traumatic brain injury or intellectual disability concerns alongside mood and anxiety symptoms. Sessions are offered in English and are adapted to each person’s circumstances.
He encourages people to take small first steps toward change, and he works to empower clients as they try new coping strategies and problem-solving techniques.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize skill-building and real-world practice. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations; these techniques help reduce avoidance and build confidence. Another approach centers on improving attention and memory through structured routines, task breakdown, and compensatory strategies to support concentration and daily functioning.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person’s preferences, and adjust the plan as progress or challenges appear. This helps clients find what actually works for them rather than forcing a single technique.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, and flexible communication during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
