About Katherine
Dr. Katherine Martin is a licensed psychologist in Texas who uses clear, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She draws on evidence-based techniques to help clients address relationship concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and challenges such as grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is direct yet warm, aimed at helping someone take manageable steps forward. She builds a respectful space where thoughts and feelings can be named without judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life problems and concrete strategies a person can try between meetings. Dr. Martin combines practical skills with support to keep progress steady.
Her training and methods include cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and acceptance techniques to reduce avoidance of difficult feelings. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas to improve connection and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.
Across nine years of practice as TX Psychologist 38758, she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, family problems, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and career transitions. That background informs how she adapts therapy to each person’s situation. Dr.
Martin offers sessions in English and practices from Texas. Therapy is aimed at helping someone build skills, regain balance, and move toward clearer priorities. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward a life that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety or depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on improving emotional bonds and communication to ease relationship strain and increase connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Martin collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions start with practical problem areas and together they decide what to try and how to measure progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging provide short, on-the-go check-ins and homework support. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between meetings, especially for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
