About Martina
Martina Jackson offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and low mood. She introduces a calm, respectful approach and focuses on practical steps parents and caregivers can use. Martina says the first step takes courage and she aims to make the next ones feel manageable.
She holds an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential, and brings nine years of clinical work to each session. Martina builds conversations around a person’s day-to-day life, helping identify what’s getting in the way and what might help.
How Martina works
Sessions are shaped to fit each person’s goals and situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Martina helps people cope with life changes, rebuild self-esteem, and manage symptoms of depression. She also addresses trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Practical skills, clearer communication, and realistic steps toward goals are common themes in her work. Additionally, she supports people navigating attachment questions, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and struggles around money or substance use. Martina works with guilt, shame, forgiveness, jealousy, and the search for life purpose in everyday terms.
Her sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their life.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy
Martina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching simple strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets trauma-related reactions and post-traumatic stress, helping people process difficult events and build safer emotional responses over time.Choosing the right approach happens together. Martina listens to a person’s goals, life demands, and preferences, then discusses which techniques might help most. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and achievable for each person.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
