About Martin

Martin Godek is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with two decades of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and anger. He emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and begin to consider different paths forward.

Background and approach

Martin's work also encompasses depression, addictions, self-esteem, career concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar challenges, coaching, and ADHD among other focus areas. His approach blends client-centered care with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused work.

Martin collaborates with clients to identify practical strategies and build the courage to make changes that fit each person’s values and life circumstances. He draws on 20 years of experience to support people in developing coping skills, improving communication, and addressing long-standing patterns tied to attachment, control, or feelings of emptiness and isolation.

Based in New York, Martin offers sessions that meet clients where they are and aims to create a steady, respectful therapeutic relationship that supports long-term growth and resilience.

Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Martin integrates client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused approaches to guide online work. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's perspective, offering empathic listening and support to help people clarify values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Trauma-focused work attends to the impact of past traumatic experiences, using targeted techniques to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on present functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. The therapist will work together with each client to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more flexible and accessible. These formats let clients balance therapy with daily responsibilities, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use different communication styles that fit their comfort and schedule.
