About Akilah
Akilah Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with a decade of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of North Texas and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Sam Houston State University with a focus in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Her training includes competency in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and level 2 training in the Gottman Method for couples work, and she brings a broad base of techniques to fit individual client needs.
Akilah centers her work on the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives, and she aims to help them build practical tools, skills, and knowledge to reach self-determined goals.
She has worked extensively with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, anger, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, mood disorders, and related concerns. Her experience also extends to issues connected to adoption and foster care, substance use, and adjustment to life changes.
In sessions she strives to create a validating environment where clients feel heard and valued while learning strategies for change. Akilah integrates client-centered principles with evidence-informed methods so that treatment is tailored to each person’s priorities and strengths.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Akilah uses evidence-informed methods to guide online work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and support coping with ADHD-related challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and building a strong therapeutic relationship so clients feel respected and able to explore their priorities and values.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Akilah partners with clients to assess needs, try strategies, and adapt methods over time so the plan fits the client's goals and preferences rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use tools from CBT and client-centered work in ways that suit each person's routine and comfort.
