About Armando

Armando Martinez Jr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people feeling stuck regain forward momentum. He focuses on practical change and works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, grief, ADHD, and parenting challenges. He also supports people facing life transitions and identity questions, including LGBT concerns and trauma recovery.

Armando centers sessions on the client's experience and personal goals. He treats the person as the expert in their life and tailors his approach to each situation. That can mean mixing short-term problem solving with deeper reflection, depending on what the person needs.

He brings eight years of experience as an LPC in Texas, plus many prior roles in hospital, school, and private-practice settings. His background includes work on acute inpatient units and with at-risk students ages ten to eighteen, and he has consulted in school behavioral programs.

In sessions he uses a blend of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Existential, and Psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets him combine practical tools with space to understand patterns and meaning.

Armando offers help in English and Spanish. He encourages people to begin where they are and take manageable steps toward change. To start, he asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on his availability.

How Armando’s Approaches Work Online

Armando draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as core tools. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and developing coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and pace, giving space for reflection and self-directed growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods until a helpful mix is found. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing sessions during a lunch break. It can also suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or who want to alternate practical skill-building with reflective conversations. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, adapt tools so they translate well to remote meetings while focusing on clear goals and everyday changes.
