About Matthew

Matthew Martinez is an LPC who helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected despite keeping up appearances. He meets adults and teens who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and major life changes. He is straightforward and nonjudgmental, offering a calm presence when life feels chaotic.

His approach is warm and collaborative. Sessions slow things down so patterns can be noticed and practical steps can be tried. He focuses on making things feel more manageable and helping people regain a sense of control and confidence.

Before becoming a therapist he spent more than 15 years in education, including roles as a high school principal and assistant principal. That background shaped his understanding of high-pressure environments and how work, school, and family expectations affect everyday functioning.

He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and relationship-focused work. He also has completed Gottman Level 1 training, which supports work on communication and rebuilding connection in couples settings.

In sessions he combines practical tools with attention to deeper issues like trauma, self-doubt, and recurring relationship patterns. He tailors the pace and methods to each person so therapy fits real life. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How evidence-based work and online sessions connect

Matthew draws from evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and relationship-focused work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms. Relationship-focused work centers on communication and patterns between partners to improve understanding and reduce recurring conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. Together they try tools, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time to find what fits.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week. They can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins, and make scheduling around work or family obligations simpler. Some formats can also allow shorter sessions when needed or sessions without video to lower bandwidth requirements.
