About Patrick
Patrick Martinez is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. He treats each person with respect and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
Patrick centers sessions on the person in front of him. He listens first, then builds a plan around what matters to that individual. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with room for emotion and reflection.
Background and approach
He commonly helps people who are dealing with trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and addictions. He also supports those facing work stress, career decisions, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Anger is an identified area of focus and is addressed through concrete skills and talk therapy.
Clinically, Patrick draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. He mixes these methods to match a person’s goals and learning style rather than using one fixed approach. Sessions are tailored to each person’s pace and preferences.
Patrick aims to make therapy a collaborative process that teaches tools you can use outside of sessions. He encourages small steps and practical changes as part of longer-term growth.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy is about following the person's lead and making sessions feel relevant to their life. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and shapes goals together with the client to match their needs and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more useful alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it teaches concrete skills to change reactions and daily habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better communication. It is useful when strong emotions feel overwhelming and when someone wants clear strategies for handling intense moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, strengths, and preferences. He often blends techniques so sessions remain practical and tailored.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and texting offer brief, flexible ways to touch base or work through immediate coping strategies between sessions. These options make it easier to build therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
