About Martin
Martin Landau-North offers straightforward, experience-grounded therapy that centers on practical help and clear conversation. He draws on four decades of work in California to guide people through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Martin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, and describes therapy as a place to talk honestly and problem-solve together. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change.
He helps people untangle family conflict, work through separation or infidelity, and address sexual concerns including kink and alternative sex culture. He also supports clients facing addiction, fertility stress, or panic attacks.
Martin brings a calm, direct style that fits people looking for coaching and therapy combined. He works with clients on life purpose, men's issues, shame and forgiveness, and patterns rooted in family of origin and attachment wounds.
Conversations usually mix practical steps with emotional reflection. Over a long career he has helped people manage career pressure and the strain of close relationships.
Sessions are built to be frank and constructive. Clients collaborate with him to set goals and try manageable changes between sessions.
Therapy is offered in English and available to international clients. Work is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair needs and schedules.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on patterns in relationships and on practical change. One commonly used approach looks at attachment and family of origin patterns to understand how early relationships shape current reactions; this helps with issues like abandonment, trust, and intimacy. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and coaching strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and life purpose questions; it breaks big problems into small steps to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Martin works with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as things change. He aims to balance emotional work with concrete skills so clients can see progress over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when preferred, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to join, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility and let people choose what works best for their schedule and comfort.
