About Martha
Martha Green is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Her approach is respectful and straightforward, with an emphasis on practical steps people can use between sessions. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation.
That might mean short-term skills for managing anger or longer work on healing after trauma. Communication skills, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and building self-love are common themes in her work.
Martha draws on a mix of approaches to meet real-life needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a collaborative space, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for concrete behavior and thinking changes, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for emotional processing, and the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work.
She blends these to match what a person is facing rather than follow a single script. Her sessions are practical and down-to-earth.
People can expect clear goals, tools to practice at home, and a steady focus on what makes life more manageable. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the process.
Martha invites people to take the first step toward change when they feel ready. She offers multiple online formats and works with individuals who want to rebuild connections with themselves and others.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. It gives space for people to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports emotional clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors with concrete exercises and homework. That approach can be useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and patterns that interfere with daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Martha will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person rather than insisting on one route. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant to each person's needs.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options allow flexibility for fitting therapy into work, school, or family life while using approaches that target emotions, behavior, and relationship patterns.
