About Aldemar
Aldemar Martinez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three decades of practice in California. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, depression, and relationship or family concerns. He works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
His approach is straightforward and practical. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and take small, useful steps. He also uses attachment-informed ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions.

Sessions focus on real-life problems and skills people can use between meetings. Aldemar listens for what matters most to each person, then builds goals together. He emphasizes clear, achievable changes over long lists of techniques.
He has worked in mental health settings for 30 years and brings that experience to a variety of concerns, including mood disorders, trauma and substance issues. His background in clinical social work informs a broad view of how life circumstances affect mental health. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Aldemar often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. This approach can be useful for worries, anger, and problems that keep repeating.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and to practice new skills that reduce symptoms. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and many mood-related concerns because it focuses on concrete tools and homework between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to try first.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when that feels helpful. Phone can be quicker when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing reflections easier to fit into a busy day. These options help maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions.
