Martin Landau-North

Martin Landau-North is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 40 years of practice in California. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, and professional coaching. He aims to make starting therapy straightforward and respectful for people who are worried or unsure about the process.

He uses straightforward conversation to help clients name what feels difficult. Sessions involve talking through feelings, identifying patterns, and trying small changes that can reduce stress or improve closeness. He brings decades of experience to problems like panic, guilt and shame, and struggles with life purpose.

Martin also works with issues connected to family of origin, abandonment and attachment wounds, and the fallout from infidelity. He offers support around sexuality topics including BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, and addresses related sexual dysfunction and psychosexual concerns. He can also help people facing fertility struggles and addiction concerns.

Clients can expect practical, coach-style help for career and executive concerns alongside therapy for personal life challenges. He strives to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about intimate topics. The emphasis is on clear steps, steady progress, and adjusting plans when something isn’t working.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and Martin accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people address immediate symptoms and long-standing patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying attachment and abandonment patterns by looking at how past relationships shape present reactions; this can help with intimacy problems and trust issues. Another approach is problem-focused coaching work that breaks larger goals into small, manageable steps to reduce stress and improve performance in work and personal life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they review progress and adjust techniques when something isn’t helping.

If you plan to pursue online care, confirm the exact session formats before booking since they aren’t listed in the biography. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule, fit around work, and maintain momentum between meetings. Online work can also make it simpler to include focused coaching check-ins or shorter follow-ups when needed, helping therapy fit into a busy life.
