About Martin

Martin Landau-North is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 40 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, sexual dysfunction and executive coaching. Martin aims to make beginning therapy simple and direct so people can take the first step without feeling overwhelmed.

In sessions he creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. He listens closely and helps identify practical next steps for improving relationships and personal wellbeing.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented rather than filled with jargon. Martin has worked across many relationship and family situations, including separation and divorce, family of origin problems, and fertility-related stress. He also addresses issues connected to attachment, abandonment, and intimacy in alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.

Addiction concerns, panic attacks, and patterns connected to narcissism are within his range of experience. He also brings experience in coaching professionals on life purpose, career decisions, and managing work stress. Sessions can include talking through choices, setting boundaries, and practicing communication skills.

The aim is to build practical habits that fit everyday life. Martin offers services in English and accepts international clients. He works by meeting people where they are and helping them identify clear, manageable changes.

Therapeutic techniques and online care that fit family life

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and real-life changes. One commonly used approach helps people learn better communication and problem-solving in relationships, which can reduce arguments and increase understanding. Another approach targets anxiety and panic by teaching breathing and coping exercises along with steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns. These methods can help with stress, intimacy concerns, and family conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust techniques over time based on what is working and what needs more focus.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family life while keeping progress steady.
