About Martin

Martin Levenson is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. He brings nine years of front-line experience and works from Massachusetts. He also has experience supporting transgender, agender, and non-binary people and those on the autism spectrum.

In sessions he treats everyday problems with clear steps rather than jargon. He listens for strengths in each person and helps build practical skills to reduce stress and improve mood.

Background and approach

Conversations are aimed at small, achievable changes that fit each person’s life. Martin holds an MA and is licensed as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - LICSW (MA LICSW 122145) and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW in New Hampshire (NH LCSW 5080). His clinical background includes work with mood disorders, panic, trauma, and addiction-related struggles.

He values collaboration and respects that clients know their own story best. Together he and a client set goals and try out strategies that match the client’s needs and pace. Many people come to him for help with coping during life changes, relationship tensions, or difficulties related to identity.

Sessions tend to focus on practical techniques for coping, clearer communication, and gradual steps toward better functioning. Martin combines evidence-based methods with a straightforward, listening-first style. He aims to make therapy manageable and relevant for everyday life.

Practical approaches for online therapy and care

Martin uses a few evidence-based techniques that translate well to online work. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; they help with anxiety, panic, depression, and mood shifts. Skills-based coaching teaches concrete coping tools like relaxation, sleep routines, and step-by-step plans for managing stress or cravings.

He also draws on supportive, person-centered methods that prioritize listening and building on strengths. That approach helps people who are navigating identity questions, grief, or relationship strain by centering the client’s goals and pace. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - he works with each person to find the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options allow flexible scheduling, quick check-ins between sessions, and different ways to communicate when in-person visits aren’t possible. For many people, remote sessions reduce travel time and let them practice new skills in their everyday environments.
