About Mark
Mark Schachter is a New York psychologist with 40 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and attention challenges. He works with clients who are worried about concentration, memory, and related changes in day-to-day functioning. He presents himself as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate in conversations with people seeking change.
He adapts conversations and care to each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and steady progress. The tone is direct and supportive, aimed at helping people take manageable next steps.
Across four decades of practice he has worked with a range of difficulties including autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, post-traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury. That background informs how he shapes discussions about coping skills, memory support, and attention strategies.
He encourages people to name what matters most to them and to move at a pace that feels doable. The therapist explains options, suggests techniques, and adjusts plans as needs change. His approach centers on empowering people to make changes that fit their daily lives.

Evidence-based approaches and how they translate online
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. One common approach teaches coping and problem-solving skills to reduce overwhelming stress and anxiety; it focuses on step-by-step techniques people can practice between sessions to manage symptoms and sharpen focus. Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process difficult memories and build new strategies for handling triggers and flashbacks.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to goals, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to try and how to measure progress over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for check-ins during workday breaks, and let sessions happen from familiar surroundings. Because this profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the current session options before booking so you know whether live video, phone, or another format is offered. Licensed professionals can often adapt tools so therapeutic work continues effectively across different formats.
