About Martine

Martine Baron is an LCSW practicing in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She brings an open-minded, compassionate stance and a strengths-based orientation to her work, guiding clients to identify goals and practical strategies.

Background and approach

Martine integrates a range of evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness-influenced practices, trauma-informed care, and EMDR when appropriate, while listening carefully to each person’s story. Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect, and she frames therapy as a process that takes time and courage.

Martine invites clients who seek greater well-being, relief from stress or anxiety, support through grief and loss, or clearer direction around relationships, parenting and career concerns. She can incorporate faith-based tools when requested and adapts interventions to each person’s needs so they can move toward a more authentic, fulfilled life.

Applying evidence-based approaches to online care

Martine often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers structured tools to change responses over time.

She also uses client-centered principles that prioritize empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals. This approach supports self-discovery and helps people feel heard as they work toward clearer decision-making and personal growth.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Martine treats that as a collaborative process. She will discuss options with clients, consider their preferences and life circumstances, and adjust methods as goals evolve so the plan fits their needs.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home or while traveling, and they allow for a range of interaction styles from real-time conversation to brief check-ins between meetings.
