About Martine
Martine Baron is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, career issues, depression, family questions, grief, and related problems including guilt and shame. Martine offers talk-based help that aims to clarify what matters to each person and identify practical next steps.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions begin with listening to the immediate problem and what the client wants to change. She uses strengths you already have and helps turn them into workable strategies. That can mean trying new ways to communicate, setting boundaries, or changing small daily routines that feed anxiety or shame.
Martine uses a mix of familiar therapeutic approaches. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the client's priorities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and DBT skills for emotion regulation and tolerating distress. She also integrates Emotionally-Focused work for relationship concerns and EMDR-informed ideas when trauma memories are involved.
She mentions faith as part of her background and can include faith-based ways of thinking when clients ask for that perspective. Martine describes her work as collaborative - she and the client set goals together and track progress in concrete ways.
People who come to her often want clear steps, steady listening, and practical tools to manage guilt, shame, loss, or conflict. Prospective clients are encouraged to review session options before booking so they know how Martine currently offers care.
How Martine Brings Therapeutic Approaches Online
Martine works from a few core methods that translate into online conversations. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client so sessions stay practical and person-led. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or guilt. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for tolerating distress, regulating strong emotions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. Martine discusses goals and preferences with clients and adjusts methods as sessions progress. She treats the choice of tools as collaborative rather than fixed, so plans change if something does not fit.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with clients. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use skills practice or homework between meetings to reinforce progress. If you prefer a faith-informed angle, mention that early so it can be included in planning sessions.
