About Andrea

Andrea Martinez is an LCSW who developed her clinical path working in county mental health settings, where she spent several years supporting young people. She draws on four years of professional practice to offer a warm, collaborative, and strengths-focused approach that adapts to each person's starting point.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes practical skill-building and body-based awareness to manage stress and emotions. Andrea uses the Community Resiliency Model to help clients notice bodily signals and practice grounding techniques that promote emotional regulation and present-moment awareness.

She frames therapy as a partnership, helping clients identify tools that fit their daily life and priorities. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are designed to be approachable and nonjudgmental.

Andrea aims to help clients expand coping skills, clarify values and life purpose, and address concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem, communication challenges, loneliness, and ADHD-related difficulties. Her practice focuses on supporting people as they build resilience and move through transitions with greater confidence.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Access

Andrea frequently uses the Community Resiliency Model to teach grounding and body-awareness skills that help reduce reactivity to stress and strengthen emotional regulation. This approach focuses on simple, repeatable practices that can be applied during challenging moments to restore a sense of balance and presence.

In addition, she integrates practical skill-building that targets anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with life changes by breaking larger goals into manageable steps and rehearsing new strategies in-session. These techniques aim to increase confidence and everyday functioning through repeated practice and reflection.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with clients to explore which techniques feel most helpful, adjusts interventions based on responses, and aligns treatment with each person’s goals and preferences so progress unfolds at a comfortable pace.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency, access support between sessions, and practice skills in real-life contexts without needing to travel to an office.
