About Martin
Martin Coleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people navigating relationship and family concerns. He offers straightforward, compassionate care for stress, anxiety, parenting questions, and shifts in life that leave parents unsure what to do next. Martin’s tone is warm and practical, and he aims to make sessions feel calm and focused for worried parents reading on a phone.
He draws on 14 years of counseling experience and keeps conversations client-centered.
Background and approach
That means sessions start with what matters to the person and build from there. He uses everyday language and practical techniques so parents leave with something they can try at home. Martin blends mindfulness practices with narrative and solution-focused tools.
Mindfulness helps people notice patterns of thought and stress in the moment. Narrative work looks at the stories families tell about themselves and explores other ways those stories could go. Solution-focused techniques target small, achievable steps that can change day-to-day life.
Together these approaches are used to address relationship strains, intimacy questions, blended-family issues, and stress related to caregiving or career pressures. Sessions are guided by respect and sensitivity. Martin aims to tailor conversation and plans to each person’s situation.
He works from Texas and speaks English, and he accepts international clients.
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the counselor. In practice this looks like open conversation, reflective questions, and tailoring the pace and focus to the client's needs. It helps when someone needs understanding and guidance rather than a fixed plan.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. These skills are useful for stress, anxiety, and parenting moments when emotions run high. Short guided practices and in-session coaching make mindfulness easy to use between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process means the plan can shift as needs change.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility. Parents can join from home, fit sessions around schedules, and use a format that feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to try techniques in real time between meetings.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
