About Martha
She draws on nearly three decades of experience as a licensed professional clinical counselor and a licensed mental health counselor. Martha uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also incorporates mindfulness strategies to help people stay grounded during stressful moments.
For clients needing emotional regulation and skills for intense feelings, she uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach concrete coping skills. She also respects deeper personal meaning and uses ideas from Jungian therapy when clients want to examine life stories and inner symbols.
She works with people facing a wide range of concerns beyond mood, including caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, dissociation, family of origin issues, gender dysphoria related distress, and challenges tied to military service or immigration. Her practice in Florida blends skills training, talk therapy, and reflective work to match what each person needs.
Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and honest conversation. To begin, she asks about current struggles, what has or hasn’t helped, and what a better week would look like for the client.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete behavioral experiments. It helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns, and daily stress by giving practical steps to change thinking and behavior.DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs clear tools to manage strong reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose techniques that match the client's needs and preferences, and they revisit the plan as progress is made.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions when a client is managing chronic illness, caregiving demands, or busy work schedules, while keeping the focus on skills, communication, and meaningful insight.
