About Nereida

Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who draws on 17 years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She has worked across community clinics, nonprofit programs, the criminal justice system, and independent practice, which shaped a broad perspective on how social, cultural, and spiritual factors influence mental health. Her practice includes work with children, teens, and adults addressing issues such as sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Her approach centers on building a collaborative, client-centered relationship where individual goals guide the work. She combines techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, existential approaches, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Sessions emphasize practical skills for symptom management as well as exploration of meaning, values, and life purpose when relevant. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she offers psychotherapy via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and supports clients navigating blended family dynamics, communication problems, domestic violence recovery, immigration stress, and mood disorders.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore feelings and set their own goals; it is useful for a wide range of concerns from life transitions to relationship and self-esteem issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness-based techniques cultivate present-moment awareness and stress management skills that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to clarify goals, try methods that match their needs, and adjust strategies over time so therapy aligns with personal preferences and progress.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations within Texas. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or school commitments and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support using the approaches described above.
