About Martha
Martha Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life changes. Martha also helps people dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and body image.
She uses a client-centered stance in sessions, which means she focuses on each person's concerns and priorities. Martha draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused ideas to help people identify patterns, test different responses, and build practical skills for daily life. She also uses trauma-focused approaches when past wounds are part of the presenting problem.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and short-term goals. Expect conversations that clarify what matters most right now, practice of coping and thinking skills, and planning small experiments to try between meetings. Martha puts attention on things like impulse control, communication problems, caregiving stress, and substance-related concerns when they come up.
She speaks English and Spanish and works from a Texas practice. People often bring concerns related to career, parenting strain, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, or compassion fatigue. Martha supports coping with transitions such as new jobs, moves, or changes in family roles.
To begin, a short intake will identify priorities and establish early goals. From there sessions aim to reduce immediate stressors, build clearer routines, and create manageable strategies for longer term change.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's concerns and priorities, giving time to listen and reflect so goals are clear. It helps when someone needs a space to sort out what matters right now and decide what to try next. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day stressors. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on noticing what already works, making it good for people who want measurable changes quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in early about what helps, adjusting techniques, and combining elements from different approaches when that makes sense.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins around work or school. They can also let someone choose a quieter environment or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered, and solution-focused exercises to remote settings to keep sessions practical and goal-oriented.
