About Martha

Martha Cobb is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 26 years of experience. She works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. Her profile lists young adult issues among the concerns she focuses on.

Martha helps people sort through relationship and intimacy-related problems. She addresses family and parenting stress, communication problems, and the fallout from divorce or infidelity. She also supports people managing anger, impulsivity, and self‑esteem problems.

She has experience across a wide range of concerns that include ADHD, abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and coping after disasters. Martha also lists aging and geriatric issues and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder as additional focus areas.

Sessions are framed around practical steps the client can use between meetings. Expect straightforward conversations, skill building, and collaborative planning aimed at Day-to-day improvements and clearer decision-making. For people in their late teens and twenties handling first jobs, university transitions, or relationship pressures, this approach is intended to be direct and pragmatic.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters, helping clients feel understood and clarifying their goals. In practice this means sessions spend time on what the client wants to address and on practical next steps that fit daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ways of acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems like anger or avoidance.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These exercises can be used between sessions to manage stress and strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Martha will collaborate with the client to choose which methods suit their goals and circumstances. That process can involve trying different techniques and adjusting plans as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. If you want to book, confirm which session formats she currently offers before scheduling so you know how meetings will be held. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills in the same routines where they will be used.
