About Martha
Martha McKenzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

How Martha works
Motivational interviewing and narrative work help people clarify values and rewrite their personal stories when needed. Martha has long experience with ADHD in adults and teenagers, and she has followed research and resources in the field closely. She also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, self-esteem, parenting challenges, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, codependency, communication problems, and caregiving strains. Her approach is conversational and collaborative. Goals are written together so each step is clear and measurable.
Sessions mix practical skill-building with space to process feelings and life history when that helps progress. Martha trained later in life and values the perspective that brought. She holds the credentials LCSW and CSW.
People who want therapy in Spanish can be seen in that language. Her practice is based in Georgia and she blends experience with steady encouragement.

How Martha’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to each person's concerns and building goals together. It helps people feel heard and guides therapists to tailor work to the individual's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and develop coping strategies for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and similar issues.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple exercises. It can reduce reactivity, lower stress, and support emotional regulation during day-to-day challenges.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and preferences and may combine methods as progress unfolds. Changing course or trying a different technique is part of the process and will be decided together.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick questions, between-session check-ins, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options let people maintain continuity of care while adapting to work, school, or caregiving schedules.
