About Nereida
Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of therapy experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. She also helps people facing parenting struggles, relationship problems, and life transitions.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear tools. She listens for each person's values and goals, then tailors the work to fit those priorities.
Background and approach
Clients may find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Mindfulness strategies are used to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck and needs to find internal reasons to change.
Nereida has worked in community clinics, nonprofit organizations, the criminal justice system, and independent practice. That variety shaped her understanding of how social, cultural, and spiritual concerns affect daily life. Her background includes helping adults, teens, and children with mood and trauma-related issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She practices in Texas as an LCSW and draws on years of hands-on experience when planning treatment. The focus is on clear goals, steady progress, and practical strategies that fit each person's life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose practical steps that fit their life. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain stress, anxiety, or low mood. Work often includes simple experiments, behavior changes, and skill building that can be practiced between sessions. CBT can be helpful for ADHD-related routines, sleep problems, worry, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about their needs, try methods that make sense, and adjust plans based on what helps. The process is collaborative and aims to match techniques to a person's goals and lifestyle.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins, homework support, or a way to process emotions between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, school, and family commitments.
