About Nia
Nia Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - LICSW with 10 years of professional experience. She practices in New Mexico and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship strain, family concerns, parenting stress, anger, career issues, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She uses evidence-based techniques in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindful meditation are part of her approach. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. That includes noticing thought patterns, experimenting with new ways to respond, and building small habits that reduce reactivity.
Nia aims to make sessions straightforward and direct. She encourages clear talk about what triggers frustration, resentment, or outbursts. Together with a client she maps triggers, coping options, and realistic short-term goals to test in daily life.
Her style emphasizes learning tools people can use right away. For someone who loses their temper with coworkers or family, she breaks down what happens in the moment and what can be shifted. For people living with another person's anger, she helps identify boundaries and personal responses that reduce escalation.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location.
Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test alternatives. It is practical work aimed at changing patterns that fuel anger and low mood. Mindful meditation teaches simple attention skills and short breathing practices that reduce immediate reactivity and help a person pause before responding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Nia will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques to try first based on their goals and daily life. That means reviewing what feels manageable, adjusting small practice tasks, and checking what helps over a few sessions.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to practice coping strategies in the settings where anger typically happens and then bring observations back into the next session for review.
