About Martha
Martha holds a Master of Science in Psychology from Texas Wesleyan University. She has six years of formal counseling experience as an LPC and over 17 years working in mental health roles including case management, crisis intervention, and psychiatric emergency room assessments. This background informs a steady, experienced approach to common life challenges.
In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools. She focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, build new habits, and set manageable goals. Sessions tend to center on skill-building, straightforward talk, and realistic steps for change.
Martha commonly addresses concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, eating and parenting stresses, caregiver strain, grief, and ADHD-related challenges. She also helps with relationship communication problems, life transitions like divorce or midlife shifts, and practical issues like money and career stress.
The aim is to help each person identify what works for them and practice those skills between sessions. Martha hopes clients leave feeling more capable of handling daily stressors and with clearer next steps for their lives.

How Martha’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person and following their lead. It emphasizes being heard and respected so clients can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior changes to see practical results. Both approaches are often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday habit changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Martha will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which tools and strategies to try and adjust them as needed over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can help fit therapy into busy schedules and can make it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions that focus on practicing coping skills between other commitments. Licensed professionals can tailor session pace and structure to suit an individual’s routine and goals.
