About Martin
Martin Godek, LMHC, is licensed in New York and has 20 years of professional experience. He works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, family issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, coaching, and ADHD. He offers a client-centered approach and uses practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness therapies.
Martin focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. He helps people name what is worrying them and try concrete strategies to reduce distress. Sessions emphasize understanding patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting that can lead to small, steady changes.
His approach is collaborative. He listens first, then suggests tools from CBT and DBT when they fit the issue. Mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques are used to ground difficult memories and manage overwhelming feelings.
Martin aims to make each session straightforward. He works with clients to set short-term goals and measure progress. Homework is kept simple and directly related to daily life tasks and relationships.
Clients can expect a therapist who prefers plain language and direct feedback. He supports work on communication problems, commitment fears, attachment concerns, and issues such as abandonment, isolation, guilt, and shame. Sessions also address fathers' concerns and common family problems in individual work.
He provides care in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary with location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. It helps clarify goals and priorities and supports a collaborative plan for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short experiments and practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behavior patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when strong emotions or frequent conflict get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help identify which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is decided together and adapted as progress is tracked.
Confirm the session formats available before booking. The therapist’s biography does not list specific formats, so check current options on the sign-up page. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use written exercises and guided mindfulness practices between meetings.
