About Patrick
Patrick Martinez is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with 12 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and the everyday pressures that get in the way of feeling steady and capable.
He works with individuals dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and the ripple effects of life changes like separation or career shifts. He also supports people facing parenting strain, grief, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.
In sessions he emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations and plans are shaped around each person's specific needs and goals. Patrick aims to make the first steps toward change feel practical and manageable rather than overwhelming.
He draws on client-centered methods to center the client's experience and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach skills for emotional regulation and present-moment coping.
Patrick tailors the work to what a person needs now, whether that means short-term problem solving or longer work on patterns and relationships. He helps people set clear, achievable goals and checks in on progress as work continues.
How his approaches guide online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities, so sessions revolve around listening, reflecting, and shaping goals that matter to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings and decide what to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck and teaches steps to shift them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges with motivation or routine.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. These skills are practical tools people can use between sessions to stay steady during hard moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter skill-focused meetings, or remove the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on skill practice, thought work, emotion regulation, or planning and problem solving depending on what a person needs.
