About Martin

Martin Levenson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience practicing in Massachusetts. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges linked to autism spectrum traits. He also supports transgender, agender, and non-binary people navigating mental health concerns.

Martin sees anger as one of several practical problems people bring into sessions. He focuses on what is happening now - triggers, patterns, and the immediate effects of anger on work and relationships. Conversations in session aim to make those patterns clearer and to identify steps that reduce reactive responses.

His approach emphasizes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Sessions generally involve straightforward discussion, building skills to manage strong emotions, and testing small changes between meetings. He frames the work around the client’s goals and the strengths they already have.

Martin has experience addressing related concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures, and mood disorders. He also helps people dealing with career-related stress, first responder issues, and social anxiety. The focus is practical: what to try now to improve day-to-day functioning.

Clients can expect direct, goal-oriented conversations that name patterns and offer clear behavioral options. If you want to work on anger, stress, or related issues, he asks people to start by describing what they hope will be different. That helps shape what the sessions will cover and which skills to prioritize.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Martin works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and behavioral change. One common approach helps people notice the triggers and bodily signs that lead to angry reactions, then teaches concrete strategies to pause and respond differently. This approach is useful for anger, panic attacks, and workplace outbursts.

Another approach emphasizes practical problem solving and behavioral experiments. Clients try small changes between sessions, report what happened, and adjust the plan. This method helps with stress, low mood, relationship strain, and addiction-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps. You and the therapist decide together which skills to prioritize and how to measure progress.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections. Ask about formats when you schedule so arrangements match your needs and daily routine.
