About Martine
Martine Baron is an LCSW based in New York with two decades of clinical experience. She greets people with an open, compassionate manner and encourages those taking a first step toward change. Martine affirms the courage it takes to seek support and focuses on helping people move toward a more fulfilling life.
She builds a respectful therapeutic relationship and listens to each person's story without judgment. Martine uses a strengths-based approach to identify practical goals and steps people can try between sessions. She emphasizes steady progress and works at a pace that fits each person’s needs.
Her work draws on several approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, and EMDR. She also integrates motivational interviewing and trauma-informed perspectives when helpful. These tools are used to address concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and codependency.
Martine is comfortable bringing faith-based ideas into sessions when a person requests that perspective. She also pays attention to broader life contexts that affect well-being, such as caregiving stress, immigration-related issues, and life transitions like divorce or aging.
People who prefer a collaborative, respectful coach-like style may find her approach fits well. Martine aims to help clients tap into their internal motivation and develop concrete strategies to handle day-to-day challenges.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person’s own goals. It helps people feel heard and helps them identify what matters most to them in day-to-day life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to find which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made.
Session logistics vary by practice, and the original biography does not list specific delivery formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, avoid travel, or reduce the need to be on camera for every visit. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to match the realities of a person’s day so therapy feels practical and usable.
