About Martin

Martin Levenson is a licensed therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and concerns around identity and self-esteem. He is a Massachusetts practitioner with nine years of experience and holds an MA LICSW and an NH LCSW. He works with people navigating career pressures, autism spectrum concerns, and issues faced by transgender, agender, and non-binary individuals.

Martin starts by listening to each person’s story and by identifying strengths that can be used in change. He treats clients as partners in the work and focuses on practical steps they can try between sessions. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to small, achievable shifts.

In therapy he draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, anxiety, and behavior patterns. He supports people dealing with addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also helps those coping with parenting stresses, fatherhood challenges, and caregiver strain.

Martin has experience with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and with panic, social anxiety, and personality-related difficulties. He works with people facing life changes like divorce, postpartum depression, or isolation and loneliness. His approach aims to make therapy useful in day-to-day life.

People who choose him can expect a collaborative process focused on concrete skills and self-understanding. He encourages questions about how therapy will fit into each person’s routine and priorities. This practical focus guides the pace and the goals of his work.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Martin draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, and identity-related stress. One common approach he uses focuses on building moment-to-moment coping skills to reduce panic and manage anxious thoughts. Another approach targets mood patterns and activity planning to lift low mood and increase engagement in meaningful activities.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Martin treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you decide which techniques fit your goals and daily life. Together you can try a method, reassess, and adjust the plan as needed to find what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote work helps maintain consistency during life transitions, but the therapist will review what works best for your routine and preferences.
