About Martha
Martha Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people navigate major life challenges. She brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and speaks both English and Spanish. Martha uses a warm, client-centered style that puts the person's goals first.
She listens carefully and helps people name what matters most to them before suggesting strategies. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and changes like breakup or career shifts. Martha also helps with body image, attachment and abandonment concerns, parenting strain, and family of origin issues. Her work often touches on impulsivity, guilt, shame, and forgiveness as well.
In practice she draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. She also uses solution-focused techniques for quick, goal-directed planning and trauma-informed approaches when processing past hurts. These methods are blended to match each person's needs.
Martha aims to make sessions useful and straightforward. She will help clients set small, doable goals and check progress over time. People who want clear steps, emotional support, and help managing anger or addictive behaviors may find her approach a good fit.

How Martha Uses Talk Therapy Online
Martha draws on client-centered therapy to build a trusting working relationship where the person's priorities lead the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify their own goals and values.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing anger by teaching practical strategies to change routine reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will happen together. Martha collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time if something isn’t working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions allow a fuller conversation similar to an in-person meeting. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick updates, brief check-ins, or continued processing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine while keeping focus on the work that matters.
