About Neil
Neil Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 25 years of professional experience. He focuses on addictions and intimacy-related issues, especially concerns around porn and sex addiction. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not work with international clients.
Martin centers his work on direct conversation about behavior, feelings, and relationship patterns. He uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy to follow what each person brings, Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and closeness, and Motivational Interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. He also draws on mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas about past patterns that repeat in current life.
In a typical session he listens without judgment and helps people make clear choices about next steps. He addresses codependency, drug and alcohol addiction where it relates to sexual behavior, infidelity, and process addictions like gambling or exercise when those link to sexual concerns. Practical steps and short-term goals are often part of his work.
Martin frames treatment as a collaboration. He discusses options and adjusts the plan as progress is made. He uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies by location.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. That first meeting is used to set goals and decide together how to proceed.

Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects what is said and helps clients clarify values and goals, which can be useful for addiction-related decisions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how attachment and closeness shape behavior. It helps people notice patterns in relationships that may relate to intimacy problems and sexual behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, struggles, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan fits changing needs.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules, allow quieter surroundings, or reduce travel time. Other practical benefits include shorter check-in appointments when needed and not needing to be on camera for every meeting. These practical factors are discussed when arranging the first session so sessions can fit into daily life.
