About Martin
Martin Godek is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of professional experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and related concerns. Martin speaks English and practices in New York.
Martin uses straightforward, person-focused methods in session. He listens to what is most pressing and helps people name patterns that keep causing trouble. Sessions look at how thoughts, emotions, and behavior interact, and then test simpler ways of responding to frustrating situations.
He draws on client-centered work to keep conversations grounded in each person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques are used when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed.
When trauma is part of the picture, he brings trauma-focused approaches to help reduce the ways past events continue to affect day-to-day life. He also addresses related issues such as grief, parenting strains, addiction, and problems with intimacy or self-esteem.
Practical steps are part of the process. Typical work includes short behavioral experiments, skill practice between sessions, and clearer communication tactics for tense relationships. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online flow. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to the person and building sessions around their immediate concerns. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to sort through feelings about anger, grief, or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aims to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. It is practical for managing work stress, anxiety, anger reactions, and patterns that keep recurring. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) concentrates on emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, useful when strong emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. That means agreeing on skills to practice between sessions and checking what is or isn’t working.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them try skills in closer-to-real situations and then bring that feedback back into therapy.
