Martha Mino, LCSW

Martha Mino is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She speaks English and Spanish and works with clients who are dealing with difficult life transitions and emotional pain. Her approach aims to make first steps feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.

With seven years of experience as an LCSW, Martha draws on several practical methods to tailor care. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client's goals lead the work. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and Mindfulness practices to build awareness and calm.

Her background also includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy and hypnotherapy, which she may use when appropriate to help people access emotions and interrupt long-standing patterns. Martha adapts sessions to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She emphasizes respectful, sensitive dialogue and clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Martha works with a wide range of concerns related to relationships and self-image, including abandonment, body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and intimacy challenges. She also supports people coping with domestic violence, substance use, eating-related struggles, and end-of-life issues.

If someone wants to begin, Martha asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. The goal is practical progress in areas that matter most to the client.

How Martha’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means sessions begin by asking what matters most, and the therapist shapes conversations around those goals to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework, which can be done between sessions to reinforce progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean mixing listening-focused sessions with CBT tasks or trying mindfulness exercises and brief hypnotic techniques when appropriate to address specific issues like anxiety or intimacy concerns.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone choose audio rather than always using video. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, guided mindfulness, and CBT worksheets to remote sessions so work continues between meetings.
