About Mark

Mark Schiffman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 25 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people release physical and emotional pain so they can move beyond worry, stress, dissatisfaction, and sadness toward clearer goals and greater well-being.

He designs individualized strategies so clients and their families can set and reach meaningful objectives while fostering more positive energy and maximizing personal potential. He works with both children and adults; with younger clients he integrates play therapy and behavioral techniques within a safe, nurturing setting to support growth and healing.

Across age groups he offers compassionate listening, reflective exploration, and a non-judgmental supportive stance that prioritizes each person’s strengths. His psychotherapy practice includes individual, family, and group work, tailored to the needs of the client and their support network.

Holding a master’s degree from New York University and the LCSW credential—Licensed Clinical Social Worker—he brings together insight-oriented modalities, behavior modification, dialectical behavioral approaches, EFT, and trauma-based treatment to create practical, client-centered plans for change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced, practical thinking. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and behavior change by focusing on specific skills and strategies to improve daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends acceptance and change strategies to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be particularly useful for clients managing intense emotions, relationship challenges, and self-destructive impulses.

Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on understanding unconscious patterns in close relationships and improving communication between partners. It supports couples who want to address conflict, deepen connection, and repair relational dynamics.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Mark Schiffman and other licensed professionals will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through flexible formats. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow therapy to fit around work, family, and geographic constraints, making it easier to stay consistent with appointments and apply skills between sessions.
