About Martha
Martha Higgins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses practical, hands-on methods to help people manage anger and other strong emotions. She offers clear steps and steady support so people can feel less overwhelmed and act in ways that match their values.
Martha draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and build skills for change. She also uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape reactions today.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that add up over time. Many clients come to her for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship conflict, and problems tied to family of origin. She also helps with career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, impulsivity, and the fallout of trauma and abuse.
Anger is a common concern she addresses alongside communication and control issues. In a session, Martha listens without judgment and helps people name what matters most to them. She offers strategies for coping during crises and for building longer-term resilience.
Work often includes skill practice between sessions and checking what does and does not help. She has 14 years of experience and practices in Oklahoma as an OR LCSW and OK LCSW. Sessions are conducted in English and available in several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Approach-driven care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This is useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction rather than just symptom relief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It's often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants tools to shift how they respond day to day. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships to understand current connection and trust issues, which can help people who struggle with communication, abandonment fears, or repeating relationship cycles.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Martha will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts what she offers as progress unfolds so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is good for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins and skill coaching between sessions. These options let people schedule care around work, caregiving, and daily life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists.
