Martha Quattlebaum

Martha Quattlebaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling anxious, disconnected, emotionally stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Martha lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, bipolar disorder, and depression among her focus areas.

She often meets people who appear to be holding everything together while feeling overwhelmed underneath. Sessions are practical and direct. Martha helps clients identify patterns that contribute to distress and learn tools for emotional regulation and coping.

Her work draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and cognitive processing methods to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices and DBT-informed skills are used for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day functioning.

Martha also brings trauma-informed care into sessions when past events are affecting current life. She helps people work on communication, boundaries, self-understanding, and resilience. That can include support around grief, low self-esteem, burnout, attachment wounds, and relationship difficulties.

She has additional experience related to chronic illness and caregiver stress, substance use concerns, divorce and separation, and aging or geriatric issues. Sessions are conducted in English, and Martha does not accept international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Cognitive processing techniques are used for addressing upsetting memories and shifting beliefs that keep someone stuck. Mindfulness-based practices and DBT-informed skills help with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and staying present during challenging moments.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Martha will discuss what feels most useful, try practical techniques in sessions, and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and responses. The aim is to find strategies that fit the person’s life and needs rather than force a single method.

The profile does not specify exact online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work, caregiving, and daily responsibilities. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule appointments during a lunch break, or avoid travel time. Talk with Martha through the matching questionnaire and the scheduling steps to learn which session formats she currently offers and how they might fit into your routine.
