About Martha
Martha Kuhn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 18 years of experience in counseling. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Martha also supports clients facing trauma, addictions, parenting challenges, and career concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques in sessions. Martha draws on client-centered work alongside cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She focuses on clear steps clients can use between meetings, such as behavior experiments and skill practice.
Her background includes long-term work with people who have experienced emotional or physical abuse and with those managing complex or co-occurring concerns. Martha has worked with issues that include ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and family of origin problems. Her experience also covers caregiver stress, codependency, and substance-related challenges.
Martha describes her style as interactive and respectful. She prefers direct dialog that avoids labels and centers the person's goals. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and what small, realistic actions could help.
Beyond clinical work, she is coauthoring a book on brain-related approaches and is pursuing further coaching credentials. Her practice includes attention to everyday problems like sleep and eating difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and career stress.
How her therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding what matters to the person, and shaping sessions around their goals. It helps when someone wants a straightforward conversational space to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, sleep, and mood problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills such as distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. These skills can help with intense emotions, relationship strain, and recurring frustration.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans together. That collaborative process lets the therapist and client test what helps and change course as needed.
