About Rita

Dr. Rita Martin brings a decade of counseling experience and advanced training to her practice, blending clinical knowledge with a collaborative, goal-oriented approach.

Background and approach

She earned a Master of Arts in Student Personnel Services, Counseling from Northwestern State University of Louisiana and a Doctor of Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, and holds LPC credentials in multiple states. Her work emphasizes building mutual understanding and trust so client and therapist can jointly identify current challenges and set realistic, achievable goals.

She concentrates on increasing self-awareness and fostering self-acceptance while helping clients replace self-sabotaging patterns with healthier choices. Dr.

Martin addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship issues, family dynamics, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her style is systematic and empowering, guiding clients through practical steps toward the life changes they seek.

Based in Louisiana, Dr. Martin combines evidence-based techniques with empathic support to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She partners with clients to create a clear plan, track progress, and adjust interventions as goals evolve.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Martin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and to develop practical skills for managing emotions and behavior. CBT focuses on identifying links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation techniques that can reduce reactivity and support improved sleep and emotion management.

She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship or interpersonal patterns are central, using work that helps people understand and shift emotional responses that affect connection and communication. Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process: the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problem areas to tailor methods and adjust the plan as progress is evaluated.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care across locations within the therapist's service area. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals without travel, and sessions can be adapted to individual routines and comfort levels while maintaining a therapeutic structure.
