Martin Landau-North, LMFT

Martin Landau-North is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 40 years of experience. He helps people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He also offers coaching for professionals and support around sexual dysfunction and psychosexual questions. He uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems people bring into sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and practical steps to reduce distress. Sessions aim to be nonjudgmental and direct, so clients can name issues like infidelity, shame, or panic attacks and work on concrete changes. Martin has long experience with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and the strain that drug or alcohol addiction places on relationships. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment challenges, fertility concerns, and grief tied to forgiveness or guilt. Men’s issues and questions about life purpose are among other common themes he addresses. He is familiar with alternative sex culture, including BDSM and kink, and approaches these topics without stigma. He helps people sort through boundaries, consent, and intimacy-related conflicts in plain language. Clients who want to begin therapy select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical change. One approach emphasizes exploring patterns of attachment and abandonment to understand how past relationships shape current reactions; this helps when intimacy or trust feels difficult. Another common focus is brief, skills-based work for anxiety and panic that teaches specific breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies to reduce distress and regain control. Choosing the right approach is usually a team effort. Martin will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend techniques to try. If something does not fit, the plan is adjusted so the work stays useful and relevant. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life and allow continuity when travel or relocation is involved. It can reduce commute time, allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, and make it possible for international clients to work across time zones. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and pacing to match daily routines and practical constraints.
