About Martin
Martin Godek is a New York licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship concerns. He draws on two decades of experience to offer steady support and straightforward guidance. His approach aims to make the first step feel easier and less overwhelming.
Martin creates a calm space where people can say what they really feel without judgment. Sessions are meant to help someone name their struggles and try practical ways to cope.
Background and approach
He encourages small, manageable steps toward greater day-to-day calm. Martin uses a client-centered stance that keeps each person’s goals front and center. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build clearer behavior choices.
These methods are useful when stress, anxiety, depression, or anger get in the way of daily life. For people affected by trauma, he incorporates trauma-focused techniques and mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also offered to help with intense emotions and building better coping habits.
Clients can expect a practical, collaborative tone in sessions. He listens first, then works with each person to pick tools that fit their life. The aim is to increase control over emotions and improve relationships over time.

Approaches That Guide Online Work
Martin blends client-centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make concrete changes. Client-centered work means conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and move at their pace. CBT targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress, anxiety, or anger active and offers clear exercises to practice between sessions.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be especially helpful when emotions feel overwhelming and when someone wants steadier reactions in relationships and daily life. Together these approaches offer both compassionate listening and practical skills building, and Martin will work with each person to decide which mix fits best.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat works well for short check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions, fit therapy into a busy day, and try tools in real time while staying connected with a licensed professional.
