About Martina

Martina Cisneros is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and a broad range of life challenges including ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a person-centered, culturally aware approach that respects each individual's background and identity while addressing concerns such as trauma, grief, addiction, intimacy-related issues, and coping with major transitions.

Her work blends evidence-based methods with compassionate collaboration, drawing on therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help clients build healthier coping skills, improve communication, and reconnect with their values.

Martina accepts clients in Texas and holds active licensure as an LCSW in California and Texas (CA LCSW 70335, TX LCSW 69635). Clients can expect an affirming environment that attends to multicultural issues, sexuality, and identity exploration.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys gardening, cooking, reading, dancing, outdoor activities, and time with family, pursuits that reflect her interest in wellbeing, creativity, and connection.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Martina frequently draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult emotions are present. ACT is useful for people who want to reduce avoidance and live more in line with what matters to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many everyday stressors. Mindfulness-based practices are woven into sessions to strengthen present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, supporting work on trauma, stress, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Martina aims to collaborate with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors techniques over time so interventions remain relevant and effective for the client's changing circumstances.

Online therapy with Martina is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing for flexibility around work, family, and location. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while accommodating different communication styles and schedules, helping clients access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel barriers.
