Valerie Martin, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Valerie!

I help clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, and depression. I have both personal and professional experience with chronic illness, so I'm well-equipped to support individuals navigating this challenge. I work with you to create a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.

My focus

I believe the most effective therapy happens when you can identify what you've been struggling with and what your therapeutic goals are. I'm happy to help in this process, and together we will work to achieve your goals.

My approach

I am straightforward but gentle and compassionate. My approach is eclectic and will vary based on your personality and individual needs. I will do everything in my power to make this a comfortable and effective experience for you.

My communication style

I encourage open communication to maximize your therapeutic experience. My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey as a counselor began with my own traumatic experiences and challenges. I've worked with head-injured patients, people with chronic and terminal illness, and a variety of groups experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am still amazed by the resilience of the human spirit.

My goals for you

We'll discuss openly the issues you're having, identify root causes, set goals, and actively track progress.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to casually get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous, so we'll take it one step at a time. Our goal will be to identify solutions and get started down the right path.
