About Martin

Martin Levenson is a licensed independent clinical social worker - MA LICSW and NH LCSW - with nine years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and issues tied to self-esteem and confidence. He also supports concerns such as autism spectrum challenges and social anxiety and phobia.

Martin sees individuals navigating identity questions, including transgender, agender, and non-binary people. He focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions emphasize what a person wants to change and what has helped them in the past.

In the room he listens for patterns that make everyday life harder. He talks through things like coping during panic, managing mood swings, and handling relationship strain. He also addresses substance use, addictions, and the stress that caregiving or first-responder roles can create.

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and increasing effective coping. He helps people who face isolation, body image concerns, fatherhood or parenting stress, and transition-related challenges. He works with mood disorders, panic, and trauma-related struggles as part of a broader plan.

When someone is ready to start, he helps set practical goals and small steps. He frames change as a process of learning new habits and testing what works. People who prefer straightforward discussion and problem-solving tend to find this approach useful.

Practical approaches and how online sessions work

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on skills you can use in daily life. One approach centers on learning specific coping skills for anxiety and panic, like breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and gradual exposure to anxiety-provoking situations to reduce avoidance.

Another common method involves structured problem-solving and mood management for depression and mood disorders. This includes breaking large problems into small steps, tracking mood and activity patterns, and testing what changes make life more manageable.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can change over time as progress is made and needs shift.

The original profile does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care while focusing on the same practical skills used in face-to-face work.
