About Martin
Martin Coleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas. He brings 14 years of counseling experience and focuses on practical support for everyday problems. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Martin works with concerns that range from anxiety and stress to relationship and intimacy questions. He also helps with parenting and career stress, issues tied to identity and LGBT concerns, and problems linked to addiction or family conflict.
Background and approach
He listens first, then helps clients choose what to try next. His style is warm and interactive. Conversations are guided by what the client notices and what they want to change.
Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit into real life rather than abstract plans. Martin uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. He draws on client-centered techniques to follow the client’s pace, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and narrative or solution-focused ideas to reshape problems and identify next steps.
He tailors those tools to each person’s goals. Clients can expect straightforward language, clear options, and a focus on what helps between sessions. Martin accepts international clients and offers several online formats.
He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to help match goals and schedule the first appointment.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Martin uses client-centered work to follow what each person brings to the session, letting the conversation set the pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and wants a therapist who responds to their concerns rather than imposing a plan.He also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These tools help lower reactivity and provide quick ways to regain calm when stress or anxiety rises. Narrative therapy is used as well to help people reframe painful stories and notice strengths they may have missed.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Martin treats it as a collaboration. He will listen to goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person, and adjust based on what is helpful. Clients and therapist work together to pick and refine techniques over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer talk therapy. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat or text can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
