Joe Martinez

Joe Martinez is an LPC with 15 years of experience who helps people manage anger, stress, and anxiety. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He speaks plainly and aims to make early sessions feel straightforward and doable.

He believes people are the authors of their own stories and that they bring strengths into therapy. Sessions emphasize building on those strengths while learning new skills for coping. Joe encourages small, practical changes that add up over time.

His approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take committed action. Mindfulness techniques and some Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are included to help with emotion regulation and staying present.

Joe has worked across workplace and relationship-related concerns, including career stress, intimacy issues, process addictions, and trauma-related challenges. He also addresses issues like isolation, social anxiety, and the effects of infidelity. The focus is on helping each person set clear goals and practice specific strategies between sessions.

Sessions are held with straightforward goals and step-by-step plans. People can expect support in identifying patterns, trying new responses, and tracking progress. To begin, use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anger, motivation, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing practical alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel for appointments. Practicing mindfulness exercises, tracking thought records, and reviewing behavior plans all translate well to remote sessions when that format is available.
