About Matthew
Matthew Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected despite keeping up appearances. He works with adults and teens facing anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and big life transitions. He also supports those dealing with trauma, self-doubt, repeating relationship patterns, and financial stressors like money and financial issues.
His approach is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on slowing things down, making sense of what is happening, and finding practical steps to feel more grounded and in control. He avoids judgment and looks to understand each person’s unique situation.
Before becoming a therapist he spent more than 15 years in education, including roles as a high school principal and assistant principal. That background exposed him to high-pressure environments where stress, trauma, culture, and expectations intersect. Those experiences inform how he reads workplace and school-related pressures in therapy.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors the methods to fit the individual. He combines practical skill-building with conversations about communication, attachment, and recurring patterns. This often includes focused work on relationship dynamics and conflict.
Matthew draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and relationship-focused work in session, and he has completed Gottman Level 1 training to support communication and rebuilding connection. He aims to help people find clearer direction, reduce anxiety, and strengthen relationships through steady, practical steps.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Matthew commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas and relationship-focused work in his practice. Cognitive behavioral approaches help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Relationship-focused work looks at how communication and attachment patterns shape conflicts and emotional distance, which can help with rebuilding connection and improving communication.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting methods over time based on what is most helpful for reducing stress, improving relationships, or managing life changes.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments.
