About Martin

Martin Danner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, grief, career stress, and family of origin issues. Sessions address practical problems people bring from their past that still affect their daily life now.

Martin uses straightforward, solution-focused methods in sessions. He combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused methods to help people notice patterns, test new responses, and practice different ways of relating. He also draws on elements of the Gottman Method and Imago relationship ideas when relationship dynamics are part of the work.

In the room he helps people name recurring roles and expectations they learned growing up and see how those patterns play out today. Conversations move toward small, doable changes rather than long lists of theory. He also includes tools for managing anxiety, stressful life transitions, and grief, depending on what each person asks for.

Martin has additional experience with attachment issues, communication problems, control issues, and forgiveness work. He notes work with ADHD-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and young adult transitions among his focus areas. His framed style is encouraging and solution-oriented while keeping attention on clear goals the client sets.

To begin he asks clients to identify the immediate problem and what they want to be different. From there he outlines practical steps and homework when useful. Sessions emphasize skill practice, behavior changes, and clearer ways of connecting in close relationships.

How his approaches translate to online work

Martin commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective, with conversations that clarify goals and priorities. It helps people who want a respectful, goal-led dialogue about relationships and family patterns. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides exercises to test new responses; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits.

He also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship bonds and attachment concerns are central. EFT helps people notice and name core emotions and restructure how they respond in close interactions. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to the client's goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of working online include easier fitting of sessions into a workday and shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. The therapist can describe how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect so therapy fits into everyday life without requiring major changes.
