About Martin
Martin Landau-North is a California LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 40 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, sexual concerns and coaching. He also lists life purpose among his practice interests and offers work that addresses both personal and professional questions.
He guides conversations that aim to clarify what feels stuck and what matters next. Sessions often look at attachment patterns, abandonment fears, and family of origin problems that influence current relationships. He also helps people navigate separation, infidelity, and fertility-related worry in straightforward terms.
Sexuality topics are named directly in his work, including psychosexual concerns and issues related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. He addresses shame, guilt, and questions of identity without euphemism, and he supports men dealing with pressures tied to roles and expectations.
Substance use and addiction effects on relationships are part of his background, including work with drug and alcohol concerns. Panic attacks and panic disorder are also listed areas he addresses, with practical steps to reduce immediate distress.
Martin combines therapeutic conversation with coaching methods when appropriate. That means sessions may include goal-setting, skills practice, and follow-up between meetings. To begin, prospective clients are invited to use the site's matching and scheduling flow to set up an initial appointment.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in his work include attachment-focused conversation and short-term coaching methods. Attachment-focused conversation looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps identify practical changes in how someone connects with others. Short-term coaching breaks larger questions into manageable goals, with exercises and homework that reinforce progress between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That means discussing whether conversational exploration, targeted skills practice, or a mix of coaching and therapy will best support the client’s goals.
