About Martha

Martha Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. Martha focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.

She works from a client-centered stance, which means conversations begin with what matters most to the person in front of her. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that fuel strong emotions. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolbox when clients want clear, short-term goals and small, achievable shifts.

Martha also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past experiences continue to affect current mood, relationships, or behavior. In those cases she helps clients connect past events to present reactions and build coping routines that reduce reactivity. Her work with addictions includes looking at triggers, cravings, and the daily routines that keep problematic behaviors in place.

In sessions she talks through communication problems, anger and control issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin patterns. She helps people work on self-esteem, body image, and decisions around separation or divorce without assuming a one-size-fits-all plan. Practical strategies and homework are common parts of the work.

Clients are guided to set realistic goals, practice skills between sessions, and measure small changes over time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform’s booking process.

How her approaches translate to online work

Martha uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers sessions on the client’s immediate concerns and priorities. That approach helps people bring practical anger triggers or relationship issues to each meeting so the work stays focused on real-life problems.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify the thoughts and behaviors that escalate anger. CBT offers concrete exercises and short homework tasks that fit well into online sessions and can be practiced between meetings.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Martha will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on how helpful they feel. She helps clients pick techniques that match their day-to-day needs and pace of change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep regular appointments and practice skills consistently.
