About Nereida
Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Texas. With 17 years as a clinical therapist, she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She draws on real-world experience from community clinics, nonprofit work, the criminal justice system, and independent practice. That background shaped how she notices social, cultural, and spiritual factors that affect daily life.
How Nereida works
Sessions aim to be straightforward and centered on what the person needs in the moment. Nereida offers a client-centered style that emphasizes listening and partnering with each person. She also brings cognitive behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thinking and habits.
Mindfulness and motivational techniques are used to build awareness and steady motivation. Therapy is tailored to the person’s goals, whether coping with grief, improving sleep, handling anger, addressing ADHD-related challenges, or navigating life transitions. She also works on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt, and identity questions that get in the way of moving forward.
The approach is practical and compassionate. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments between meetings, and strategies that fit daily life. Nereida guides people through change while supporting their strengths and values.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online counseling
Nereida uses client-centered therapy to start most work. That means she listens closely and follows the person’s priorities, helping them set clear goals and make choices that feel right. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to ease anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That can mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or motivational techniques until a good fit emerges.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people keep face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief updates, homework check-ins, or reflection into a busy day. These options help people access consistent care while matching the format to what fits their schedule and comfort.
