More about Christopher
- 12 years' experience
- Male
- LPCC, LMHC
I am licensed in Indiana and Ohio and hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling and Psychology, both from Troy University. I have 15 years of professional work experience working with a range of patients from children to adults and families. Throughout my career, I have specialized in trauma focused therapy and have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, professional development, & coping with grief and loss.
My philosophy of counseling is a comprehensive blend combining person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and reality therapy that focuses on acceptance and accountability of one’s past and current self, while building resiliency by making the everyday changes in one’s personal life with the understanding that perfection is not the goal. I believe in a mind-body connection where one’s physical health and mental health are intricately connected.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and plan for treatment in collaboration with you to meet your unique and specific needs.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am excited to be part of this process with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Chris, has been very helpful in this process. I had never gone through therapy nor experienced what talking with someone and working with problems within myself was like. I am very grateful for how Chris has helped me through this.

Chris is amazing. He listens well and helps me see things clearly. He helps me focus on the right things and to not be too hard on myself. We communicate frequently via messages, with him sending me material and exercises to help me. He’s very compassionate.
He does a great job at helping me along, listening, and building trust. He provides helpful information and feedback. It’s an easy going process where I find myself putting in the effort between sessions and seeing progress.
I have one the lottery of therapists. Christopher Martin is such a good fit for me. He is so caring and genuine. I feel like he’s just as invested as I am, and I feel hopeful for my future.
