About Martin
Martin Godek is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and anger. He also supports people navigating depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and career concerns.
Martin uses client-centered work to make sessions feel direct and approachable. He incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns that keep problems going. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness tools for emotion regulation and grounding.
Sessions start by clarifying what matters most to the client. Early conversations identify concrete goals and small, practical steps to try between meetings. The pace is set by the person in therapy and adjusted as progress is made.
Martin pays attention to relationship dynamics, attachment concerns, and issues like commitment, communication, jealousy, and control. He also addresses challenges tied to fatherhood, family problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Work on trauma uses focused techniques to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Clients can expect clear feedback, homework when useful, and a focus on skill-building. Martin describes his role as a collaborator who helps people make changes that fit their lives. He conducts sessions in English and practices in New York as an LMHC.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name what matters. Online sessions using this approach emphasize open conversation, clarifying goals, and pacing that the person chooses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change them. In virtual sessions CBT often includes structured exercises, planning homework, and reviewing progress together.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match a person's goals, and adjust based on what helps. Decisions about focus and techniques happen together rather than being prescribed up front.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that is useful, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use practices like mindfulness or exposure tasks in everyday settings while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
