Mr. Martinez has been a great resource during a difficult academic period in my life, I hope to continue to learn self-improvement skills as I continue past graduation and into my career

I've had very few sessions with Paul, and I only need those couple to know that he's a good man. I'm looking forward to more sessions in the near future

More about Paul

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am licensed in Texas with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, family conflicts, marriage, sexual issues & trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

My therapeutic style is kind of like sitting down with a friend and having a cup of coffee. I will listen to your story and help you sort through it. I will be honest and open with you. I am compassionate and caring. My Therapeutic approach is a combination of the Post-Modern styles of therapy. I use what it takes to help you out. I work in a way that is tailored to your issues at the time.

I understand that change can be scary but so can staying stuck in the problem. Let me help find your path forward so that you can move on to a happy and healthy life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
