About Armando
Armando Martinez Jr is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. He speaks English and Spanish and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting questions, and identity-related issues.
His first aim is to help someone find practical steps to regain momentum and cope with life’s pressures. Armando emphasizes that each person knows their life best.
Background and approach
He uses that insight to build an approach tailored to individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions center on clear goals, small experiments, and tools people can use between meetings. The tone is collaborative and respectful of each person’s values.
He blends methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, existential perspective, and psychodynamic thinking. That mix lets him address immediate coping skills while also looking at longer-term patterns that keep problems recurring. He aims to balance short-term strategies with deeper understanding so change can last.
Armando holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and practices in Texas. He has eight years of experience listed in the current profile and uses practical techniques families and individuals often find useful. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
People who choose him typically want straightforward guidance and tools they can try right away. The process begins by talking through the current problem, setting a small goal, and trying clear next steps together. He supports growth without rushing the pace.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Armando draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as primary tools in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead so the work matches their values and priorities. It helps people feel heard and supported while they figure out what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into practical parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and uses simple exercises to change painful patterns and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, deeper exploration of life meaning, or a mix of both and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging which make it easier to fit therapy into busy family lives. These options allow for flexible scheduling and continued contact between sessions when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping tools, set small goals, review practice tasks, and check progress in ways that suit each person’s routine.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
