About Nereida
Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 17 years of experience as a therapist and many more years in the mental health field. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions.
She has worked across community clinics, nonprofit organizations, the criminal justice system, and private practice. That variety has shaped how she looks at social, cultural, and spiritual factors that affect daily life. Nereida helps adults, teens, and children address mood and behavioral concerns and practical challenges at home and work.
Her style centers on the person in front of her. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. She also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy to work on thought patterns, coping skills, and stress management.
Nereida uses Motivational Interviewing when people want help finding reasons to change and Solution-Focused strategies to set clear, manageable goals. She adapts methods to what each person needs rather than following a single script. Sessions can include straightforward skill practice, problem solving, and talking through difficult memories.
She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Texas. People who want to start are invited to use the site's process to match and schedule a first session. The profile notes that session costs vary by location and that subscriptions can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Nereida commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients identify what matters most to them, which can help reduce the stress of talking about difficult topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, useful for social anxiety and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That collaboration means trying tools in session, adjusting the plan, and checking what helps most as therapy continues.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer not being on camera, and others find video sessions more helpful for practicing social skills; these practical differences can guide which format to choose. Licensed professionals can work with clients remotely to practice skills, set goals, and follow progress without requiring an in-person visit.
