About Juan
Juan Martell offers straightforward, conversational therapy for people feeling stuck by anxiety, stress, grief, or big life changes. He presents as warm and direct, and keeps sessions free of jargon. Juan uses practical tools and clear goals so people leave with things to try during the week.
Juan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with six years of experience. He combines evidence-based techniques to target overthinking, avoidance, and a harsh inner critic.
How Juan works
Sessions focus on building skills for coping as well as on clarifying what matters to each person. He helps clients work through issues such as self-esteem, feelings of emptiness, and trouble with communication. Juan also addresses process addictions, mood concerns, and the emotional fallout from separation and loss.
He offers coaching-style support when clients want clearer direction or practical steps. Therapy is conversational but purposeful. Juan aims to balance short-term tools with deeper discussion about meaning, purpose, and identity.
People typically leave sessions with a small, doable plan to practice between meetings. Juan speaks English and Spanish. He also writes a children’s mental health book series and shares psychology content online.
His style is direct, approachable, and focused on real-world change.

How Juan's Approaches Work Online
Juan uses a mix of evidence-based techniques that translate well to online work. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors; these are useful for anxiety, stress, and mood challenges and lend themselves to concrete homework between sessions. Acceptance-based work helps people notice and make space for uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while still moving toward valued goals; this can reduce avoidance and improve coping during life transitions. Existential conversation helps people clarify meaning, purpose, and identity when they’re asking big life questions and want direction rather than just symptom relief.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Juan treats it as collaborative. He listens to a person’s goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people see facial cues and work in real time. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a focused conversation. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or when someone prefers shorter written exchanges. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy lives.
