Martin Landau-North

Martin Landau-North is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 40 years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, and coaching. He aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for people who feel nervous about starting. He uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage panic, work through attachment or abandonment worries, and address intimacy or sexual concerns. Sessions often involve clear, simple tools and direct conversation about next steps. Martin also supports people dealing with family-of-origin issues, divorce and separation, and challenges around fertility, forgiveness, guilt, and shame. People who bring concerns about infidelity, narcissism, or complicated sexual interests such as BDSM and kink find a place to talk without judgment. He also helps clients navigate drug and alcohol addiction, men's issues, and questions about life purpose. His background includes work with professionals seeking executive coaching and guidance on workplace stress. Martin creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared. He encourages honest conversation and practical planning rather than long theoretical discussions. The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort. To begin, visitors select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

Martin relies on straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change patterns that cause distress. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to reduce intense reactions. Another approach targets attachment and relationship patterns, helping people recognize old dynamics from family-of-origin experiences and try new ways of relating in close connections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist reviews goals, symptoms, and personal preferences and then proposes methods to try. Clients and therapist adjust the plan as they learn what helps most, so the process stays collaborative and goal-oriented.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before scheduling. The profile does not list specific formats, so confirming options will ensure the sessions fit your life. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family obligations, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods to support steady progress while adapting to each person’s schedule and needs.
