About Martin
Martin Landau-North is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 40 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, sexual and intimacy-related issues, and career or executive coaching. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Martin uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way of clearer communication and steadier moods. He talks through relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and issues around intimacy so clients can try small changes in how they relate. He also offers practical coaching for workplace pressures and leadership challenges.
His work often addresses painful topics such as abandonment, guilt and shame, infidelity, and problems rooted in family of origin. He has experience supporting people facing divorce or separation, fertility concerns, and substance use issues. Panic attacks and panic disorder are among the anxiety-related issues he sees.
In sessions Martin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure conversations and practice new skills. He combines direct discussion with practical exercises clients can use between sessions. This approach is meant to reduce avoidance and build clearer patterns in relationships and daily life.
For someone who finds it hard to speak up, Martin aims to make the process clear and manageable. He encourages short, focused steps that fit into a client's life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as structured cognitive-behavioral methods and attachment-focused work. Cognitive-behavioral methods involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Attachment-focused work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people test new ways of relating to partners and others.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Martin works collaboratively with clients to decide which method fits best for their goals and comfort. He reviews progress and adjusts the plan so sessions stay focused on practical change rather than only talking about problems.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for appointments. They also let people practice communication skills in familiar daily routines. If international scheduling is needed, time zone arrangements can be discussed when you set up the first session.
