Martha "Grace" Marquez

Martha "Grace" Marquez is a Florida-licensed LMHC with more than 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports clients facing grief, intimacy issues, body and eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and codependency related to drug and alcohol problems.

Grace draws on practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. She listens without judgment and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at building useful skills for daily life.

Her background includes work across multiple treatment settings and roles, including individual, group, and family formats. She brings long experience with substance-related and co-occurring conditions, and has helped people who have experienced emotional or physical trauma.

Therapy with her blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness-based ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and relationship-focused work. The goal is to pick tools that fit the person's situation instead of using one fixed method.

Grace takes a strengths-based stance and treats people with respect and sensitivity. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on what each person brings to the room. If someone is ready to make changes, she offers steady, practical support to help them move forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change behavior and mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Sessions can blend techniques so the plan matches what the person wants to change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find they can practice new skills between sessions in real life, which helps learning stick. Licensed professionals tailor their use of ACT, CBT, or DBT exercises to an online setting so the work remains practical and focused on everyday improvements.
