About Martha
Martha Witt is a licensed counselor who helps people through stressful and painful life moments. She supports those facing anxiety, relationship trouble, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and big life changes. Her approach centers on helping people build self-love and healthier ways of relating to others.
She uses practical talk and focused exercises in sessions. Martha leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and take values-based action. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when relationships and emotion regulation are central to the work.
Martha pays attention to attachment patterns and codependency as they show up in relationships. She helps people untangle unhealthy cycles, improve communication, and set clearer boundaries. This often involves small behavioral changes and practice between sessions.
She brings 15 years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential and the LMHC credential. Martha connects this background with a respectful, down-to-earth style that aims to make therapy understandable and usable for everyday life.
Sessions can touch on multicultural concerns, blended family challenges, grief after separation, and the shame or guilt that follows betrayal. She also supports people exploring life purpose and recovering from isolation. Martha works in English and Spanish and practices in Oregon.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes after life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, mood challenges, and problem-solving in relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan as progress is made and new needs arise.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when days are tight. It also makes it possible to continue work through transitions and to use written exercises or screen-shared worksheets during sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to online settings so the work remains practical and focused on real-life change.
