About Mark

Mark Schachter is a licensed psychologist in New York with four decades of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and attention concerns such as ADHD.

Background and approach

He also brings experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, post-traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury, and adapts his work to address concentration and memory difficulties. Mark approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, focusing on a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

He works collaboratively with clients to shape dialogue and treatment strategies that reflect individual needs and goals. His style emphasizes empowering clients to make meaningful changes by building on strengths and practical skills.

Seeking help is framed as a courageous first step, and he aims to provide steady support while clients pursue a more fulfilling, balanced life. Services are provided from his New York practice and delivered through a range of online session formats to suit different preferences and circumstances.

Approaches and online options for attention and trauma-related care

Mark draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help with attention, mood, and trauma-related problems. One common approach focuses on structured skill building to improve concentration and daily organization; this involves practical strategies and routines that can reduce distraction and strengthen memory and focus. Another frequent method targets trauma and anxiety by helping clients process difficult experiences and learn coping skills to manage stress and emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan over time so the therapy fits each person’s needs and produces workable tools for everyday life.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or travel make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can use these options to tailor pace and interaction style, helping clients engage in meaningful work from wherever they are located.
