About Martha
Martha McKenzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, grief, parenting, and family-related issues. Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish.
Martha trained later in life after marriage, parenting, and divorce led her back to college. She earned a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Florida State University, and completed her LCSW credential in Georgia in 2010. Those steps shaped how she listens and responds in sessions.
Her work often focuses on ADHD in adults and teenagers, and she has followed that area through workshops, webinars, and current publications. She also supports people dealing with substance use, trauma and abuse, eating and mood concerns, and family of origin issues that continue to affect adult life.
Martha combines several therapeutic approaches in practical conversation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Motivational Interviewing to support change, and Mindfulness practices to help people manage stress and attention. She also draws on client-centered and narrative ideas in sessions.
The therapist describes a relaxed, interactive counseling style and notes she provides Christian counseling when requested. Goals are written together with the client so progress is concrete and measurable.
Martha’s bilingual ability in Spanish is noted as an asset for Spanish-speaking clients. People who want to begin are asked to use the site’s matching steps to schedule an initial meeting.
How Martha Uses Evidence-Informed Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what the client brings. This helps when someone is sorting through long-standing family roles or current relationship strains.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress and anxiety. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and offers homework to practice new skills between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches straightforward attention and breathing practices. Those techniques can reduce reactivity and help with attention, anxiety, and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can change as progress is tracked and goals are updated.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten a check-in when needed, or allow conversations without travel. A therapist will talk through which session rhythm and structure make sense for the client’s life and schedule.
