About Martin
Martin Levenson is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life stressors. He focuses on practical support for anger, anxiety, depression, and issues that affect daily functioning. Martin also works with people navigating identity questions, including transgender, agender, and non-binary experiences.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most troubling and what is already working for each person. Sessions aim to teach clearer ways to respond to anger, cope with panic or low mood, and build steady self-esteem.
Background and approach
Martin encourages small, doable changes that fit into busy lives. His background includes clinical work across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and he holds both LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) credentials. That clinical experience informs a down-to-earth style focused on real-world skills rather than jargon.
People often come for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, or life transitions. He also offers support for those dealing with trauma, grief, and mood disorders. The goal is to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control over reactions and choices.
Martin aims to make therapy collaborative. He listens to each person’s goals and tailors practical tools to match them. Sessions move at a pace the person chooses, with attention to immediate needs and longer-term growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Martin works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach concrete skills for emotion management. One common approach focuses on recognizing triggers and changing responses - it helps people reduce angry reactions and handle stress more calmly. Another approach centers on building coping strategies for anxiety and panic, using short practices to ease intense moments and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, and then tries methods that fit those needs. He adjusts techniques over time based on what helps and what does not, so the plan evolves with the client's progress.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video works well for in-depth conversation and noticing nonverbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or shorter conversations between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing busy lives.
