About Katherine
Dr. Katherine Martin is a Texas psychologist (TX Psychologist 38758) with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, life changes, and related challenges including guilt and shame.
She offers straightforward, conversational therapy focused on what is happening now and what people want to change. Sessions often center on understanding patterns of thought and feeling, and trying out small, practical changes. Her work addresses motivation, confidence, and the strain that comes from caregiving or career stress.
In practice she draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches to explore important relationships and how feelings show up between people. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are used when values and meaningful action are a focus.
Many people come to her with grief, trauma histories, or challenges tied to identity, including LGBT concerns. She also supports those working through midlife shifts, blended family matters, and body image or eating-related worries. Veterans and those facing aging or caregiver stress are listed among the issues she addresses.
Her sessions aim to be clear and practical. People are invited to describe what they regret or feel ashamed about, name the impact, and try manageable steps to respond differently. To begin, clients use the site flow to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Martin integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit online work. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that keep people stuck and testing small behavioral experiments to see what changes. This can help with anxiety, depression, and specific habits that feed guilt or shame. ACT helps people name their values and take committed steps toward them, even when shame or fear is present; online sessions can use guided exercises and values-focused planning.She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to attend to relationship patterns and emotional experience. That means conversations often look at how people connect, what gets in the way, and what shifts might improve interactions. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process based on the client's goals and preferences, and she checks in regularly to make adjustments.
The practical benefits of meeting online include easier scheduling and less travel time, which can help fit sessions into a busy life. Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions useful for keeping continuity during life changes, using brief check-ins between work or caregiving duties, or practicing skills in real-time situations without needing to commute.
