Prof. Martinez is licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland. She uses techniques from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy alongside motivational and solution-focused strategies. These approaches help with mood, sleep, addictive behaviors, and coping with big life changes, including aging and geriatric issues.

She also works with people dealing with caregiver stress, abandonment, codependency, autism spectrum concerns, and complicated grief. Sessions can address work and career strain, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. The work aims to build clearer choices and steadier day-to-day coping.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and international clients may be accommodated.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify what they want to change. This style is useful for people needing a warm, accepting space to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for mood, anxiety, sleep, and addictive patterns. Clients often work on short exercises between sessions to test new ways of coping.

Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices into daily life. It helps reduce reactivity, improve focus, and create steadier responses to stress. This approach pairs well with other methods when the goal is calmer thinking and better self-care.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can begin in an early session and be adjusted over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can deliver the same conversational, skills-focused work online as they do in person, with flexibility to match your routine.
