About Martha
Martha Higgins is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, people-focused therapy to help clients feel steadier and more confident. She draws on clear tools and steady support to address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and problems in relationships. Her work often starts with understanding what matters most to someone.
She helps people name painful patterns like guilt, shame, or feeling disconnected. Together they look at how those patterns affect daily life and decide on small steps forward.
Background and approach
Martha blends several counseling styles to match each person's needs. She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance and commitment techniques to help people act on their values when emotions feel overwhelming.
In session she emphasizes practical skills for coping with life changes, grief, career stress, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges. She pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin issues that can shape current relationships and self-image. After 14 years in practice she focuses on collaborative work rather than one-size-fits-all plans.
She aims to make change manageable and sustainable by breaking goals into short, doable steps. Clients leave with concrete skills and clearer next moves.

How Martha’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values even when feelings are strong. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and motivation struggles by turning values into practical steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people find new ways to connect and set boundaries in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals and day-to-day life. She checks in and adjusts strategies so the plan stays useful and realistic as needs change.
Online therapy with Martha uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets you practice conversations and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or maintaining momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access consistent support from licensed professionals.
