About Martin
Martin Godek is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of professional experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and related problems. He works in English and does not take international clients.
In sessions he aims to create an open environment where people can say what they think and feel without judgment. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps a person can try between meetings. He encourages small changes that reduce tension and interrupt reactive cycles with others.
Martin uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and trauma-focused approaches. That combination lets him address immediate coping skills and longer-term patterns that keep anger and resentment returning. He typically talks through current conflicts, identifies triggers, and practices skills for managing strong emotions.
He has two decades of experience working with issues like addiction, grief, self-esteem, parenting concerns, career stress, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems. Additional focus areas include attachment and control issues, communication problems, shame and guilt, and fatherhood topics. His background supports straightforward, skills-based work as well as deeper trauma processing when needed.

How his approaches translate to online work
Martin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT helps with anger that shows up as quick reactions, workplace frustration, or recurring resentments by giving clear steps to try between sessions.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style tools are useful when strong feelings escalate during arguments or when someone needs concrete strategies to calm down and respond differently.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He will work together with the client to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, or trauma-focused techniques best fit current goals and concerns. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
