About Martin

Martin Coleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He brings 14 years of clinical work to sessions and focuses on issues such as LGBT concerns, relationship challenges, parenting, stress, anxiety, and career questions. Martin aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk about difficult topics without judgment.

He uses a conversational, interactive style in appointments. Conversation and listening come first, then a plan grows from what matters most to the person in front of him. Sessions are tailored to each person’s unique situation rather than a one-size-fits-all script.

Martin draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people notice what matters, manage strong feelings, and make steady changes. He also uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people rewrite painful stories and try practical steps that move life forward.

Over the years he has supported people facing trauma, emotional abuse, and complex relationship struggles. Martin often helps people work through attachment concerns, codependency, blended family issues, and challenges related to intimacy and kink when those topics come up.

He works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on his availability. The emphasis is on collaboration and finding practical, manageable ways to feel better.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following each person’s lead. Online sessions can still center on being heard and understood while the therapist and client build a trusting working relationship.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. This can help with stress, anxiety, and emotional overload by giving short, practical practices to use during the week.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Martin will work with each person to choose which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts methods as needs change. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, fewer travel demands, and quicker access for people living at a distance. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking so you know what is offered. The focus is on making therapy workable around daily responsibilities while helping people try small, useful changes.
