About Nereida
Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, grief, and family of origin issues. She also addresses sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and life transitions.
Martinez draws on long experience across community clinics, nonprofit settings, the criminal justice system, and private practice. That background informs how she talks about social, cultural, and spiritual factors in people's lives. Sessions are meant to be practical and focused on what a person wants to change.
Her style centers on client-centered work that pays attention to each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox when people need ways to manage stress or strengthen motivation.
In the room she helps people identify patterns that came from their family of origin and notice how those patterns show up now. She talks through concrete steps for better communication, managing emotions, and coping with big life changes. For parenting concerns she offers strategies people can try between sessions.
She offers services in English and Spanish and practices from Texas. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people clarify their goals and decide what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness techniques help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions so they can respond with more choice rather than habit.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so sessions fit what the person needs and wants to achieve.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday or work break, avoid travel time, and maintain regular check-ins. Some approaches, like CBT, translate well to digital sessions because they include concrete exercises and homework that can be reviewed between meetings.
