About Martina

Martina Cisneros is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She focuses on real-life challenges like grief, depression, addiction, and changes at work or home. Martina aims to create an affirming space where people feel heard and respected.

She uses straightforward, practical methods so clients can notice changes between sessions. Conversations often include skills for handling intense feelings and steps to improve communication.

Background and approach

Martina draws on mindfulness and cognitive approaches to help people reconnect with what matters to them. Martina pays attention to cultural context and identity. She supports people exploring sexuality and identity and helps those coping with caregiving stress, adoption and foster care issues, or blended family concerns.

Her work also addresses attention differences, codependency, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Her style is collaborative and warm. Sessions usually focus on setting clear, manageable goals and trying small experiments that build confidence.

Martina encourages practices people can use in daily life to reduce reactivity and strengthen relationships. Outside of work she enjoys gardening, cooking, reading, dancing, skiing, camping, kayaking, volunteering, and spending time with family and grandchildren. Those interests inform a grounded, relatable approach in sessions.

Approaches Martina lists

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Martina often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them and then act toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral steps to reduce distress and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Martina will talk with each person about their goals, life demands, and what techniques feel most useful. Together they decide which strategies to try first and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit into busy lives. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and learning new skills, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging supports between-session reflections. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins, or continued work while traveling.
