About Martha
Martha earned a Master of Science in Psychology from Texas Wesleyan University in 2007 and holds a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She has 6 years in the role of LPC and over a decade of broader experience in mental health through case management, crisis intervention, and psychiatric emergency room assessments.
Her practical approach mixes client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions often begin by listening closely to what matters to the person and then practicing clear, problem-focused steps that can change thinking and behavior. She also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing where helpful.
Sessions emphasize skill-building for real-life challenges such as impulsivity, communication problems, caregiver stress, fertility concerns, and coping with major life changes. Martha encourages people to identify the habits and strategies that will carry them forward after therapy ends.
People in Texas will find her familiar with local challenges and resources. She conducts sessions in English and draws on her years of front-line mental health work when assessing risk and planning practical next steps.
How her approaches guide online work
Martha blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods to help people manage mood, anxiety, and life changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting, collaborative conversation that sets the agenda together. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches concrete skills for changing behavior and managing symptoms. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha aims to learn about the client's goals, struggles, and preferences and then try methods together to see what fits best. She frames treatment as a cooperative process where adjustments are made based on what helps most.
