Martina Cisneros, LCSW

Martina Cisneros is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience who helps people facing midlife questions and other major life changes. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and identity concerns. Martina aims to create an accepting, culturally aware space where people can speak honestly about what matters most to them.

Her work centers on practical, collaborative steps. She uses evidence-informed approaches to help people improve communication, manage difficult emotions, and find more purpose. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to each person’s background and values.

Martina often supports people through transitions such as career shifts, parenting challenges, losses, and changes in relationships. She also addresses concerns like addiction, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. Her practice pays attention to multicultural and women's issues without assuming a single path forward.

People who prefer a gentle but focused style may find her approach helpful. Martina blends skills training with acceptance-based work so clients build tools and self-understanding. She works at a steady pace that honors individual readiness for change.

Outside of clinical work, she spends time gardening, cooking, dancing, skiing, and with family and grandchildren. Those personal interests inform a down-to-earth manner in sessions and a respect for everyday life demands.

Approaches that translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while still moving toward what matters. It focuses on values and small actions that build a more meaningful day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and specific problems like sleep or anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment skills to calm the body and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martina will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts it as needs change so the work stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions when they need to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or travel. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, try brief check-ins, or avoid commuting while still working on communication, emotion regulation, and life transitions.
