Christopher Martin

Christopher Martin is a licensed counselor with credentials as an LPCC and an LMHC. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University. He brings 14 years of clinical experience working in mental health settings and with a range of concerns.

He focuses on practical steps clients can use to reduce stress and anxiety. He also helps people navigate relationship problems, grief, and issues tied to trauma and abuse. Isolation and loneliness are listed among his areas of focus, and he addresses self-esteem and mood concerns as part of his work.

Christopher blends several approaches in sessions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered methods, dialectical behavior tools, and mindfulness practices. In plain terms, that means he helps clients notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and build habits that match their values.

Sessions emphasize collaboration. He listens first, then shapes a plan with each person’s needs and goals in mind. He also pays attention to how physical health and daily routines shape mood and coping.

People meet him for straightforward, respectful conversation about what’s going wrong and what can change next. He describes therapy as a place to practice small, real-life steps rather than chase perfection.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try out methods together, and adjust the work based on what helps. That means plans can shift week to week to match real life and changing priorities.

Session formats are not specified in the provided profile, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills where they live, then discuss how those changes worked during the next session.
