About Martine
Martine Baron is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience based in New York. She greets people with a calm, open stance and aims to build a respectful, collaborative relationship from the first session. Martine focuses on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
She uses a strengths-based approach to help clients identify goals and move toward them. Clients come to her for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, career questions, and family-related issues.
Background and approach
She also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. Martine pays attention to how life context affects emotional health and day-to-day functioning. Her practice blends client-centered work with several evidence-based methods.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns that keep people stuck and on dialectical strategies to manage strong emotions. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to improve connection and can include trauma-focused methods when appropriate. Martine welcomes conversations about faith and will include faith-based approaches if a client asks.
She emphasizes pacing therapy to each person’s needs and respects individual values while working toward clearer goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with homework or exercises offered when helpful. Throughout the work she centers the person’s strengths and practical solutions.
Her style is steady, encouraging, and warm, aimed at helping people feel more capable, understood, and able to handle life’s challenges.

How therapy methods translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and understood. In practice this means sessions emphasize the client’s goals and the therapist reflects and supports rather than directs, which helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress because it breaks problems into clear steps and offers practical exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martine will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities and then recommend methods to try. That collaboration can include mixing approaches over time to match what’s most helpful for the person’s situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for deeper exchanges, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection and brief updates. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and travel.
