About Martha
Martha McKenzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, and other life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and offers clinical support for a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change routines that make problems worse. She also uses client-centered techniques to listen and clarify what matters most to each person. Mindfulness methods and motivational interviewing are part of her approach when people want concrete tools for managing mood and motivation.
Martha trained later in life and holds a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from Florida State University. She earned her LCSW in 2010 and has worked with adolescents, adults, and older adults across settings. Her background includes experience with ADHD, domestic violence, substance concerns, and age-related issues.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals that the client helps write. Goals are practical and measurable so people can track progress between meetings. She integrates narrative therapy ideas to help people reframe past events and identify helpful next steps.
She is able to conduct sessions in Spanish when that is preferred. Martha emphasizes straightforward, structured work that helps people manage symptoms, resolve relationship strains, and find more effective daily habits.
How her approaches translate to online work
Martha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break large problems into specific thoughts, behaviors, and routines that can be tested and changed. CBT sessions often include brief exercises and homework that fit into everyday life and can be reviewed between meetings.She also draws on client-centered methods, which focus on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client so goals stay relevant. Mindfulness techniques are used to build attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity, which helps with anxiety and stress management.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to test approaches, adjust goals, and choose strategies that match the client’s needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around work or family demands, the ability to check in from different locations when needed, and using shorter check-ins or video conversations to maintain progress between in-person visits. These arrangements can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life without assuming a particular delivery method.
