About Earle

Earle Martin is a licensed professional clinical counselor with supervisory designation. He has 17 years of experience in behavioral health and has worked across inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. He brings practical skills and calm presence to conversations about stress, loss, substance use, and mood struggles.

He leans on a straightforward, humane approach. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. He talks through coping skills, thinking patterns, and problem-solving so people can manage day-to-day challenges more easily.

Background and approach

In treatment he draws from client-centered therapy to keep the conversation grounded in each person's priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior strategies for managing intense emotions. Mindfulness and existential ideas help people find meaning and steady attention when life feels overwhelming.

Earle has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and caregiver fatigue. He also brings experience with issues like divorce, blended family struggles, chronic illness, and cancer-related stress.

Outside of work he enjoys the outdoors, fishing, camping, fitness, and learning about other cultures and history. His style is steady, direct, and practical, aimed at helping people make small changes that add up over time.

How Earle’s approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most, which helps when life feels confusing or overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical exercises to test and change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and addictive behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to identify needs, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to find what fits.

Online work can be flexible and convenient. Video calls let conversations feel like an in-person visit from home, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging give options for shorter check-ins, busy days, or people who prefer less face-to-face time. These formats help people keep therapy consistent when schedules or mobility are a challenge.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
