About Martina
Martina Jensen is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She combines professional training with her own lived experience to shape how she meets clients. Martina focuses on making therapy practical and understandable for everyday life.
She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and those dealing with parenting and family strain. Martina also supports people managing low self-esteem and symptoms of ADHD. Her approach pays attention to communication challenges, caregiver strain, chronic health issues, and concerns common in young adulthood.
How Martina works
Martina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to fit each person’s needs. She avoids one-size-fits-all plans and prefers simple strategies people can use between sessions. That might mean practicing new ways to handle anxiety, setting small goals for self-care, or changing how someone talks to themselves.
Sessions are practical and focused on problem-solving. Martina works to identify strengths, spot unhelpful patterns, and build step-by-step plans that respect how each person thinks and lives. She emphasizes pacing and flexibility so progress feels manageable.
People who choose Martina often look for clear guidance and someone who listens without judgment. She aims to create a straightforward, respectful space where issues can be named, options tested, and daily life gets a little easier.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy
Martina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's needs. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and stress. Acceptance and commitment style work helps people clarify values and take steps toward a life that feels meaningful despite difficult feelings.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Martina will discuss options and try methods that match a person's goals and daily routines. She adjusts pacing and techniques as progress is made so therapy fits the way someone thinks and lives.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing through thoughts feels more comfortable. These formats let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility needs and still work toward steady progress.
