About Zachary
Zachary Martin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings a calm, practical presence to therapy. He focuses on making sessions straightforward and useful so people can address stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and relationship struggles. His style aims to help clients feel heard and to find workable steps forward.
Zachary’s background includes direct work in adult residential settings for people with developmental disabilities and a range of post-graduate roles.
Background and approach
He earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy with a minor in psychology and a Master of Social Work completed in 2013. That combination shapes how he thinks about problems and solutions. In outpatient practice he draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, narrative methods, motivational interviewing, and client-centered listening.
He uses these tools to help people change unhelpful thinking, build new habits, and clarify values. Sessions are geared toward practical skills and clearer decision making. Zachary has experience with foster and adoption work, child welfare investigations, inpatient hospitalization, interdisciplinary teams, and outpatient therapy.
That range gives him perspective on how life events and systems affect mental health. People who meet with him can expect calm, direct conversation and a focus on concrete steps. He works with clients to find interventions that fit their daily life and goals.
Approaches that shape online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations toward what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact. It teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Existential therapy supports exploring values, meaning, and life choices. It can help when someone is facing big questions about purpose, identity, or major life changes.
Zachary approaches finding the right method as a joint process. He will talk with clients about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what works. That collaborative testing helps identify approaches that match a person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-taking, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
