About Matthew
Matthew Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults and teens who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and who are managing anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and major life changes.
Matthew focuses on the everyday difficulties that make life feel heavy. He talks through anxiety, depression, panic, and trauma in plain language. He also helps people who are wrestling with attachment and communication problems, control issues, or the fallout from divorce and separation.
His background includes more than 15 years in education, including time as a high school principal and assistant principal. That work involved supporting students, families, and staff in high-pressure settings. Those experiences shape how he understands stress, culture, and expectation in people’s lives.
In session he slows the pace to make sense of what is happening and looks for practical steps to regain steadiness. He draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and relationship-focused methods. He has completed Gottman Level 1 training to inform work around communication and conflict for couples.
Matthew aims to help clients notice patterns that keep repeating and try concrete ways to change them. He works directly on issues like money stress, workplace strain, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are described plainly and focused on what people can use in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Matthew often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into clear steps. CBT helps with anxiety, panic, negative thinking, and learning new coping skills. He also uses relationship-focused work to address communication, conflict, and recurring interaction patterns that affect connection and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will listen to your concerns, try practical techniques, and adjust methods based on your goals and what feels most useful. This is presented as a collaborative process where you and the therapist decide what to keep trying and what to change.
The site asks you to confirm available session formats before booking, so please check current options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and let sessions happen from different locations when that helps with scheduling. Ask about specific session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick the option that fits your routine.
