About David
David Martinez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience delivering trauma-informed, practical mental health support in New Mexico and to clients internationally.
Background and approach
He blends evidence-based methods with empathic, client-centered care to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, and ADHD. He also works with issues around intimacy, self-esteem, sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, and coping with life changes.
His background includes extensive work with people who have experienced severe trauma, as well as managing domestic violence programs and supporting those affected by interpersonal family violence. That experience informs a collaborative approach where treatment plans are tailored to each person’s needs and circumstances.
He draws on therapies that emphasize understanding relational patterns, reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and supporting motivation for change. Clients can expect straightforward, respectful engagement focused on practical tools and deeper exploration as needed.
David encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and works to create a plan that fits an individual’s goals, preferences, and life situation.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access
David integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address both relational patterns and the practical thoughts and behaviors that influence daily functioning. Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape safety, trust, and intimacy, which can be useful for people processing trauma or relationship difficulties. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other concerns.He approaches treatment as a collaborative process, acknowledging that the right method often emerges from conversation and experimentation. Together with each client he explores goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in life, then adapts techniques and pacing so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model onto every situation.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy with this clinician is designed for flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints, and allow therapists and clients to use tools from their chosen approaches in ways that suit the person's routine and comfort.
