About Martha
Martha Greth is a Colorado LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Many who come to her are carrying guilt and shame related to family, relationships, or past choices.
Martha focuses on attachment wounds and how early relationships affect current feelings. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people name what they feel and where those feelings come from. Sessions look at patterns that keep someone stuck, such as codependency, abandonment fears, or unresolved family of origin issues.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and on mindfulness skills to settle intense emotions. She also uses client-centered and attachment-based methods to build more reliable ways of relating to oneself and others. Practical steps for cravings and relapse prevention are included when addiction is part of the concern.
Martha has worked with older adults and veterans and is familiar with caregiving stress and midlife transitions. She talks through grief and forgiveness in straightforward ways, without rushing the process. The focus is on small, doable shifts that reduce the load of shame and guilt over time.
People who choose her often want a therapist who listens closely and helps set concrete goals. To begin, she asks about the specific situation that brings someone in, then suggests a mix of skill work and reflective conversation. Sessions proceed at a pace the client sets.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current trust and closeness. In practice this means discussing relationship patterns and trying small changes in how someone relates to others, which can reduce shame tied to connection issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. That can help with anxiety, depression, and guilt by clarifying what is true and what is an automatic negative belief.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Martha will collaborate with each person to decide whether attachment conversations, CBT exercises, or mindfulness practices fit best. She adjusts the plan based on the client's goals and preferences rather than insisting on one fixed approach.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Talk with her about how sessions can be scheduled to match daily life and what practical arrangements will work best.
