About Martha

Martha Lopez is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She has three years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. Martha speaks English and Spanish and focuses on making therapy straightforward and usable for everyday life.

Martha uses a client-centered outlook that puts the person's goals first. She listens for what matters most and helps set achievable steps. Sessions are aimed at practical change, not just talk.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That approach helps with mood, anxiety, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Solution-focused techniques help clients find small, immediate changes that add up over time.

Martha brings trauma-focused ideas into work with people healing from past hurt. She helps clients create new ways to cope and reduce the impact of painful memories on daily life. Eating and food-related concerns, body image, and caregiver stress are listed areas of focus she addresses in sessions.

Her style is warm and practical. She helps people build skills for handling relationship strain, parenting stress, work challenges, and overwhelming emotions. The aim is clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning.

To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, so people can find a rhythm that fits their life.

How Martha’s Approaches Work Online

Martha integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding goals, and tailoring the pace to each person. It helps when someone needs a calm, steady space to talk through immediate concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses short practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and problematic habits because it breaks issues into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Martha will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or caregiving schedules and can reduce travel time. It also allows for quicker check-ins and flexible timing, which can help maintain momentum between sessions.
