About Martha

Martha McKenzie is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW, CSW) who brings 25 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a client-centered approach that draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions and other life challenges. Martha’s work is informed by many years supporting teenagers, adults, and elders through trauma, grief, relationship struggles, parenting concerns and mood difficulties.

Her Spanish language ability enhances communication for bilingual clients, and her practical knowledge of ADHD - particularly in adolescents and adults - shapes focused strategies for attention, organization and emotional regulation. Martha crafts collaborative goals with each person, combining clinical methods with a warm, interactive style that emphasizes the client’s perspective and strengths.

She also integrates faith-based support when requested by clients. Martha holds social work degrees and state licensure in Georgia (GA LCSW CSW004237) and has kept current through workshops, conferences and professional reading.

She frames therapy as a partnership built on respect, clear goals and practical skills aimed at helping clients move through life transitions and toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and perspective, creating space for individuals to set priorities and shape each session. This approach helps when people want practical, personalized support for issues like stress, relationship problems, or life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with more effective behaviors and coping strategies; it is well suited to treating anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges and many everyday struggles. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and awareness skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which complements other techniques aimed at improving focus and self-management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit best. Together they will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and adapt interventions over time so the work aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging make it possible to access these approaches with greater flexibility. These formats allow clients to schedule care around work, family and other commitments, maintain continuity through life changes, and receive consistent coaching and skill-building without geographic limits, all guided by a licensed professional.
