About Martha
Martha Witt is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem struggles. She brings 15 years of experience and a calm, direct approach to sessions. People often come to her when life changes feel overwhelming and they need clear steps forward.
Her work focuses on building self-love and better communication. She helps people untangle attachment patterns and codependent behavior. Martha also supports people dealing with divorce, blended family issues, infidelity, and the shame or guilt that can follow these events.
Background and approach
She uses practical, evidence-informed techniques to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. Sessions include chance to talk through painful memories and practice new ways of relating to others. Martha emphasizes real-world skills that can be used between meetings.
Martha pays attention to cultural experience and identity when it affects healing. She helps people who feel isolated or unsure about life purpose reconnect with values that matter to them. Her style is warm, respectful, and goal-oriented while remaining flexible to each person's needs.
To begin, she asks people to share what they most want to change. From there she and the client set clear, manageable steps. Martha works in English and Spanish and is based in Oregon as a licensed professional counselor and a licensed mental health counselor (LPC, LMHC).
How her approaches translate to online work
Martha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotions in relationships and practicing new ways of expressing needs, which can improve closeness and reduce repeated conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Martha will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. Together they set realistic steps and check progress over time.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit into busy days. It can also allow a shorter check-in when people need a brief support, reduce travel time, and let someone attend from a quieter place that fits their routine. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises, homework, and emotion-focused practices to work well in online meetings.
