About Marcus
Marcus Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing family and parenting strains. He uses straightforward talk and steady listening to help clients sort out stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, and changes in life. Marcus invites people to name what feels hardest and then takes a step-by-step approach to work through it.
Marcus draws on nine years of experience as an LPC in Wisconsin.
Background and approach
He keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented, using methods that match each person’s needs. Marcus often blends Client-Centered listening with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused work to help people notice patterns and try small changes. In sessions he focuses on clear communication, problem solving, and building coping tools.
He also addresses anger, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and concerns like ADHD or seasonal emotional shifts. Marcus pays attention to family dynamics and issues around adoption, foster care, caregiving, aging, and separation when those topics come up. Marcus works in English and conducts online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
He aims to make next steps simple: name a concern, pick a goal, and try approaches that fit each person. Marcus believes steady effort and small changes add up over time. He encourages people who are unsure or nervous about starting to take one small step.
Marcus meets clients where they are and helps them move toward clearer communication, better coping, and more manageable days.
Approach-focused online therapy that fits family life
Marcus brings together client-centered listening and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy means he starts by listening and following each person’s priorities, helping clients feel heard and supported while they decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and then teaches practical steps to try different behaviors and reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marcus will talk through goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. He checks in and adapts the plan as progress or roadblocks appear so the work stays useful and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit family schedules. These options let clients pick a format that works for timing, comfort level, and ongoing check-ins. The focus is on making consistent progress through flexible, accessible care.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
