About Martha
Martha Lopez is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Texas. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and the pressure that comes with big life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings three years of counseling experience to each session.
Martha uses a client-centered approach that focuses on the person in front of her. She listens closely to what matters most and helps clients set goals that feel realistic.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded in everyday steps rather than abstract ideas. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thinking patterns that feed worry, low mood, or unhelpful habits. Those skills are paired with solution-focused work to build short-term plans and measurable steps forward.
When past events are still causing pain, she draws on trauma-focused approaches to address those wounds at a manageable pace. Clients can expect clear, straightforward tools they can use between sessions. Martha often helps people practice new ways of coping, change harmful routines, and try small experiments to see what works.
She pays attention to family background, communication patterns, and issues like caregiving stress or body image concerns. The atmosphere is warm and practical. Sessions may include discussion, skill practice, and brief worksheets or exercises.
Martha aims to help people build steadier moods, better relationships, and more confidence handling life’s demands.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps shape a plan that fits the client’s life. This approach supports work on relationships, self-esteem, and coping with stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions often include simple exercises to try between meetings, such as tracking thoughts or testing unhelpful beliefs. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and habits related to addictions or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable. Strategies can be adjusted over time to better match progress and changing needs.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers brief check-ins, and text works for short updates or between-session support. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
