About Martine
Martine Baron is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting pressures, career concerns, depression, family issues, and grief. Martine also addresses related concerns such as codependency, attachment worries, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness.
Martine listens to each person's story and starts by identifying strengths. She uses a client-centered stance to set clear goals together. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than abstract theory.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to strengthen emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Martine also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relationship work and can use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related memories when appropriate.
Martine notes an ecological perspective in her work, which looks at how relationships, roles, and environments affect well-being. She can incorporate motivational interviewing techniques to clarify goals and support change. If requested, faith-informed approaches can be included as part of sessions.
People who feel stuck putting others first or who struggle to set boundaries may find the focus here practical and straightforward. Martine encourages steady progress through short, manageable steps and regular review of what is working and what needs adjusting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and using their strengths to set goals. In online sessions this often means building a clear agenda together and checking in about small changes between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative behaviors. Online work can include tracking moods, trying behavioral experiments between sessions, and practicing new skills in everyday situations.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be taught, practiced, and reviewed in virtual sessions and used during the week to manage intense moments.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let the therapist give exercises or worksheets that clients can use between appointments to build skills.
