About Martha
Martha trained at Texas Wesleyan University and holds a Master of Science in Psychology. She brings a range of prior roles in mental health to her therapy work, including case management, crisis intervention, and psychiatric emergency room assessments. That background informs how she recognizes risk and how she thinks about safety and stabilization.
In sessions she leans on Client-Centered techniques to listen deeply and follow each person’s pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, testable changes in thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are also part of her toolbox for helping with motivation and present-moment coping.
Martha describes her style as caring, genuine, and ethical. She wants clients to learn skills they can keep using, not just feel better while meeting with a therapist. People who prefer clear goals and practical steps often find this approach helpful.
The work often covers everyday problems like parenting stress, career worries, grief, relationship conflict, and financial strain. Martha supports people dealing with co-occurring concerns such as ADHD symptoms, bipolar mood patterns, dissociation, and addiction challenges.

How Martha’s Approaches Shape Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s pace. It is useful when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to sort through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people break down problems into small steps and try practical changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness practices. This can help with stress, impulsivity, and staying grounded during strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively, discussing goals and preferences and adjusting methods to fit what the person needs. That might mean more skills work one week and more listening and reflection the next.
Practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online sessions can help people keep continuity during times of change and allow for flexible scheduling. Please confirm current session options before booking to see which formats are offered and what will best fit daily routines.
