About Nereida
Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Texas with 17 years of experience as a therapist. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and sleep or self-esteem problems. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She has provided care in community clinics, nonprofit settings, the criminal justice system, and private practice. That range of work shaped how she notices the social, cultural, and spiritual sides of someone’s situation. She helps people manage life changes, ADHD-related struggles, grief, and intimacy-related issues using practical methods.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals and steps they can try between sessions. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, existential ideas, and solution-focused tools. She blends these approaches to match what a person needs.
In sessions she often focuses on communication skills, building routines that improve sleep and mood, and ways to reduce anger and reactive behavior at work or home. She also addresses blended family tensions, divorce and separation concerns, and family of origin problems when those issues come up.
Nereida asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and clients use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She does not accept international clients.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Nereida uses client-centered therapy to prioritize what matters most to each person. That approach emphasizes listening, clarifying goals, and shaping sessions around the client’s immediate concerns. It helps when someone wants practical, person-driven steps to manage anger or stress.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete tools for noticing triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing alternative responses to reduce reactive behavior. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside CBT to improve awareness of physical signs of anger and to practice calming skills in the moment.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily routine. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
