About Martha
Martha Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and speaks both English and Spanish. Martha focuses on practical steps people can use right away to handle stress and hard moments.
She centers sessions on the person's needs and goals. That means listening first, then working together to set clear, achievable steps. Martha uses straightforward tools to address anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns.
How Martha works
She also helps with relationship strain, parenting stress, and challenges tied to eating and body image. Martha draws on methods from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. In plain terms that means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and choose actions that fit their values.
She also uses solution-focused ideas to build quick, practical changes and trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to cause difficulty. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients can expect supportive listening followed by concrete strategies to try between meetings.
Martha pays attention to patterns such as attachment wounds, abandonment fears, impulsivity, and caregiver burden when they come up. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.
Martha practices across a range of life issues, helping people take manageable steps toward feeling better.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with respect and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathy and supports clients as they name their goals and decide next steps, which can help with stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and some addictive patterns because it breaks problems into manageable parts and suggests experiments to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what is helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel, phone can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is low, and chat or text works for shorter check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care around daily life.
