About Martha
Martha Kuhn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas. She brings 18 years of counseling experience and a direct, compassionate manner to sessions. Martha focuses on real-life struggles like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and addiction.
She aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people under stress. Martha uses client-centered work to build trust and create a plan that fits each person. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming. Her background includes long-term work with trauma, abuse, and complex family issues. Martha has supported people dealing with grief, intimacy problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and bipolar concerns.
She also addresses caregiving stress, codependency, control issues, and the effects of divorce or domestic violence. Martha describes her approach as warm and interactive. Sessions focus on respectful conversation, practical tools, and goals the client sets.
She avoids labels that stigmatize and tailors the plan to each person's situation. Outside clinical work she is coauthoring a book about brain health and pursuing coaching certification. Martha aims to empower people to take small steps that add up to real change.
If someone is ready to start, she works with them to set clear, doable goals and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Martha commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people shape the goals and pace of work. That approach helps when someone needs support sorting values, making decisions, or rebuilding confidence.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to build new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and managing stress with step-by-step strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend or combine methods based on what fits best. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more accessible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options allow flexibility for different schedules, travel, or varied comfort with technology.
