Eric Martinez

Eric Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and Texas with five years of clinical experience. He works with people who are feeling stuck - anxious, stressed, unsure about identity, or questioning life purpose. He also helps those wrestling with self-esteem, ADHD, and concerns related to sexuality and gender identity.

He often sees clients who identify as LGBT and young adults navigating identity and acceptance. He also notes experience with first responder and veteran concerns, men dealing with stigma around emotions, and people coping with guilt, shame, impulsivity, or social anxiety.

Eric describes his core approach as rooted in existential-phenomenological psychology. That means he pays attention to how someone makes meaning of their life, how they face uncertainty, and how purpose and identity show up in day-to-day choices. He pairs that perspective with practical, evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and habits that get in the way.

In sessions he talks through what matters to the client and uses concrete tools when they help, such as strategies from cognitive-behavioral work. The aim is to clarify what feels important now and to try steps that can reduce distress and build clearer direction.

Eric welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and accepts international clients. He offers a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Eric integrates existential-phenomenological ideas and cognitive-behavioral techniques in online work. Existential-phenomenological thinking focuses on how people make meaning in their lives and how questions of identity and purpose affect choices; it helps when someone is questioning what matters next. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teach practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage impulsivity, or improve focus.

Selecting the right approach is part of the work. Eric will explore a client’s concerns, goals, and preferences in early sessions and then recommend a mix of perspectives and tools. That collaboration helps shape which techniques are tried and how progress is tracked over time.

The practical benefits of meeting online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can be more consistent. Online work can also make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed or to choose a format that suits a day with limited energy or bandwidth. Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking to match the logistics to everyday life.
