About Martine
Martine Baron is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting issues, career challenges, depression, family matters, and grief. She greets people directly and keeps sessions practical and focused on steps people can try between appointments.
Martine uses straightforward conversations to identify what is getting in the way. She listens for patterns of thinking and behavior that increase distress. From there she offers concrete strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other approaches to test different responses to those patterns.
She also draws on client-centered methods to prioritize the person’s goals and perspectives. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques and emotion-focused ideas are used when regulation skills or relationship work would help. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness approaches are options she may suggest for trauma-related or stress-related symptoms.
Sessions tend to focus on identifying small, doable changes. That may include short experiments for thinking differently, practice in communication, or step-by-step plans for managing daily stressors. Martine will discuss whether faith-based elements could be included if the client requests them.
Her practice emphasizes practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She encourages clients to bring real-life problems into sessions so they can try specific tools and notice what helps over time.
How Martine applies structured approaches in online work
Martine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps such as brief experiments, thought records, or behavior plans to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the client’s goals and perspective, making room for the person to set priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness could help with relationship or stress problems.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Martine will talk with the client about goals, try specific tools, and adjust methods based on what helps. She sees therapy as a process of testing practical strategies together rather than applying a single method from the start.
