About Nereida
Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. She works with adults on parenting, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She brings 17 years of clinical experience and nearly 25 years in the mental health field. That background includes community clinics, nonprofit work, the criminal justice system, and independent practice.
Background and approach
This variety helps her see how social, cultural, and spiritual factors affect daily life. Her style is practical and person-focused. She creates an accepting space and listens first.
Then she helps clients set clear goals and build small, doable steps toward them. Nereida draws from several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She mixes client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and existential ideas.
That blend can help with things like anger, sleep trouble, ADHD, low self-esteem, and coping with change. In sessions she teaches concrete skills to manage strong feelings and improve communication. People work on shifting unhelpful thoughts, practicing calmer responses, and making choices that match their values.
Progress often comes from repeated small changes rather than quick fixes. She supports people dealing with blended family issues, domestic violence effects, immigration concerns, and financial stress as part of broader life work. If someone needs help taking the next step, she guides scheduling and practical planning so therapy fits real life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Nereida often uses client-centered work to build a trusting, respectful therapeutic relationship. That approach focuses on listening, understanding each person's perspective, and letting the client's goals shape the work. It helps when someone needs support sorting values, making choices, or feeling heard.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT offers concrete tools for managing anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns by practicing different responses and tracking progress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what feels useful and achievable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer session work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
