Matthew Martinez

Matthew Martinez is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults and teens who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationships, depression, and major life changes. He also supports people managing trauma, panic, and struggles around connection and meaning, including questions about life purpose.

Clients often come when they feel stuck or disconnected despite appearing to function outwardly. Matthew describes his approach as direct and collaborative. He aims to slow things down so what’s happening becomes clearer and more manageable.

He uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people make small, steady changes. Sessions focus on understanding recurring patterns, improving communication, and building tools to reduce anxiety and panic. Relationship work includes communication and conflict skills to rebuild connection.

Before counseling, Matthew spent more than 15 years in education, including roles as a high school principal and assistant principal. That background gives him experience with high-pressure settings and an understanding of how work, school, family expectations, and culture affect daily life and stress.

Matthew draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and relationship-focused approaches. He also completed Gottman Level 1 training, which informs his work around communication and conflict. In therapy he helps people turn ideas into practical steps they can use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Matthew commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods and relationship-focused work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through small behavioral changes. This approach can help with anxiety, panic, and low mood by giving concrete skills to try between sessions.

Relationship-focused work emphasizes communication patterns and conflict skills. It helps people recognize recurring dynamics in relationships and practice new ways of interacting, useful for couples or individuals struggling with connection and conflict.

Figuring out the right approach is part of the therapy process. Matthew works collaboratively to match methods to a client’s goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. He reviews what is helping and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm available online session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and providing a way to meet from different locations. These practical benefits can help people keep momentum while they try new strategies and address life purpose, work stress, or relationship strain.
