About Martin

Martin Danner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas. He brings nine years of clinical experience to work that centers on relationships and family issues. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.

Sessions aim to be practical and forward-focused so clients can take steps between meetings. Martin uses a mix of methods tailored to each person’s situation.

Background and approach

He draws from client-centered approaches to create a supportive space. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-focused and relationship methods inform work on closeness and communication.

He has training in solution-focused work and has experience with attachment and family-of-origin patterns. That background informs how he addresses divorce, separation, forgiveness, and conflict. He also works with issues such as compassion fatigue, workplace struggles, and life transitions.

Sessions usually emphasize clear goals and small experiments clients can try. He encourages learning new communication habits and building emotional understanding in relationships. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Martin conducts therapy in English and practices in Texas. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Common approaches used in online family and relationship work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience. It creates a respectful space where the therapist follows the client’s concerns and priorities, which helps people feel heard and begin to try new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It breaks concerns into manageable steps and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift negative interaction cycles. It’s often used to repair emotional connection and improve communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit each person or couple. That decision is made collaboratively and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, guide communication exercises, and support progress without requiring travel.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
