About Martine
Martine Baron is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of practice based in New York. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, career questions, depression, family matters, and grief. Martine lists family and parenting among her focus areas and speaks with clients in English. She accepts international clients.
Martine keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She listens to each person’s story and draws on a range of counseling methods to help them sort practical problems. She aims to identify personal strengths and set clear goals with usable strategies.
Her approach borrows from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior methods, emotionally-focused techniques, and EMDR when appropriate. She also uses motivational interviewing and trauma-informed ideas to guide pacing and reactions to difficult memories.
Martine is comfortable including faith-based practices if a client requests that. She emphasizes an ecological view, which means looking at how relationships, work, community, and culture affect everyday challenges.
People who contact her often want concrete steps they can try between meetings. Martine supports small, measurable changes - communication skills, coping techniques for anxiety, or planning for career or parenting decisions. She frames work as a sequence of decisions and actions rather than a single event.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist reflects what a person says and helps them clarify goals and choices. This approach is useful when someone wants to be heard and to make practical changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together. It teaches specific skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, and problems with mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It includes practical tools for handling conflict, overwhelming feelings, and communication challenges. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and can change as the work progresses. The biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Different methods can shape session structure - some sessions focus on skill practice, others on processing memories - and Martine will adapt the format to practical needs as they define goals together.Areas of focus
