About Martha

Martha Meador is an LPC who works with adults facing strong emotions and life challenges. She focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, mood problems, and changes at work or home. Martha aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

She uses a straightforward, caring style. Sessions are warm and genuine, with an emphasis on listening first and helping people name their goals. Martha draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build practical skills for day-to-day life.

Martha holds a Master of Science in Psychology from Texas Wesleyan University and has a Texas LPC credential. Her background includes case management, crisis intervention, counseling, and psychiatric emergency room assessments and diagnosis. That experience informs a steady approach when emotions feel intense.

In sessions she focuses on teaching skills people can use right away. That can include coping strategies for anger and anxiety, steps to address substance use, and ways to handle relationship or family stress. She aims to help people leave therapy with tools they can use long after sessions end.

Martha encourages honest conversation about goals and concerns. She works with each person to identify skills to practice between appointments and to track progress over time.

How Martha uses practical approaches in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what each person says is most important. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can better understand their feelings and goals. This approach helps when anger or stress feels overwhelming because the person leads the pace and topics.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include specific exercises and steps to test new ways of thinking and reacting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and managing angry responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Martha will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commute time. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your schedule and communication preferences.
