Martin Levenson, LICSW, LCSW

Martin Levenson is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Massachusetts with nine years of experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and self-esteem struggles. He also helps clients navigating autism spectrum differences and those who identify as transgender, agender, or non-binary.

He works from the view that each person knows their life best. He asks questions and listens to understand what matters most to the client. Sessions focus on building on a person’s strengths and finding practical steps forward.

In therapy he helps people manage emotions like anger and panic, cope with major life changes, and address relationship and intimacy concerns. He also guides parents and caregivers through stress related to caregiving and asks about day-to-day routines that affect mood and functioning.

Levenson draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions that are practical and goal-focused. He encourages clients to try small experiments between sessions to test what improves functioning and mood. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted to fit real life.

Clients can expect clear, plain-language conversations and a collaborative tone. He aims to empower people to make changes that matter to them and to build skills they can use outside the therapy hour.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Many of the approaches Martin uses focus on clear skills and real-life changes. Cognitive techniques help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms by changing daily habits and reactions. Behavioral strategies focus on building routines, activity scheduling, and small experiments to change what happens between sessions and improve mood and functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process shapes which techniques are emphasized and how they are delivered.

Please confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or offering a way to meet when mobility or distance is a factor. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your schedule and the practical needs you have for sessions.
