About Keith

Keith Martin is a licensed social worker based in New York who helps people facing addictions, anger, career shifts, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

He draws on 27 years of clinical experience to support clients dealing with communication breakdowns, feelings of isolation, and the need for practical coaching toward change. As an LCSW-R he combines compassionate listening with skillful intervention to help clients clarify goals and build workable strategies.

His practice emphasizes empowerment and culturally responsive care, honoring each person's background while focusing on concrete steps forward. Keith often blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to tailor plans that fit individual needs.

Whether addressing forgiveness, improving communication, or navigating a career pivot, he aims to create a collaborative space where people can develop coping skills and pursue meaningful growth.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy Options

Keith often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing emotions and behaviors; this approach suits concerns like anger, anxiety related to life changes, and addiction-related habits. He also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration to help people feel understood and to clarify their own goals. Motivational interviewing is another tool he uses to support readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation.

Finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then adapt methods over time so treatment remains relevant and useful for that individual.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These online formats make it easier to maintain continuity during transitions, keep work and therapy coordinated, and access support from different locations while working with a licensed professional.
