About Martine
Martine Baron is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, career worries, depression, family matters, and grief. Martine works with people facing abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver strain, codependency, and loneliness among other issues.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to each person's story and uses a strengths-based method to set goals and plan steps forward. Martine may bring faith-informed techniques when asked, and she names that option openly for those who want it.
Martine blends several clinical approaches depending on the concern. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and attachment shape the problems people bring. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR where appropriate.
Sessions tend to center on clear, practical work. Conversations explore what matters most, surface difficult feelings, and test small changes between sessions. Martine emphasizes collaboration - she and the client decide what to try next based on what actually helps.
People who prefer a direct, respectful clinician may find this approach useful when coping with life transitions, relationship pain, or persistent anxiety. Martine aims to identify manageable steps and steady ways to reduce distress over time.
How EFT and practical therapies are used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the attachment patterns behind them. It helps people see how emotional responses shape repeated interaction patterns and guides new ways of responding to feelings.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful working relationship. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps clients clarify their own priorities and goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks problems into concrete steps and uses short experiments between sessions to try different strategies.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss which methods seem likely to fit your needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as you try things and report what helps.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue regular sessions when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can use a mix of techniques in remote sessions, adapting EMDR, EFT, CBT, or client-focused exercises to the online setting as appropriate.
