About Matthew
Matthew Martinez, LPC, helps adults and teens who feel overwhelmed by work, relationships, and life’s demands. He meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and repair connection. Sessions are aimed at making daily life feel more manageable and restoring a sense of control.
Matthew uses a warm, down-to-earth style. He listens without judgment and works collaboratively to slow things down. Together clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and try small, doable changes that build confidence over time.
Before becoming a therapist Matthew spent over 15 years in education, including roles as a high school principal and assistant principal. That background gave him firsthand experience with high-pressure settings and how stress, culture, and expectations affect people at work and at home.
He focuses on anxiety, stress, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional areas he addresses include attachment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and challenges around money, sexuality, and life purpose.
Matthew draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors sessions to each person. He aims to help clients feel more grounded and better able to handle everyday pressures. Therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Matthew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, teachable skills. One approach he mentions is cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Another strand of his work is relationship-focused practice, which helps people understand interaction patterns, improve communication, and rebuild connection after conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Matthew will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time based on what is working and what the client wants to prioritize.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting therapy into a busy day, saving travel time, and having shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people also find it easier to continue work when sessions can be scheduled around work hours. Discuss formats and scheduling during the matching and intake steps to choose what will work best for everyday life.
