About David
David Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with 16 years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and depression. He also helps with family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.
Clients meet someone who works in direct, practical ways. Sessions are straightforward conversations about problems and next steps. David has worked with people who have serious mental health needs and problematic drug use. He has run domestic violence programs and understands how interpersonal family violence affects daily life.
He uses approaches that center relationships, personal values, and clear problem solving. Those include attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential questions, and motivational interviewing. In a session he may help identify patterns, test small changes, and set goals that fit everyday routines.
His work often includes coaching around parenting, stress management, and caregiver strain. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, and chronic illness or pain. David has experience with attachment issues, autism, and the effects of trauma on relationships.
Sessions are practical and focused on what people can try between meetings. He invites people to name priorities and to take gradual steps toward those goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions using attachment ideas help identify patterns in close relationships and develop safer ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) lays out how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In remote sessions CBT is used to test small behavior changes, try practical exercises, and track what helps between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals and personal preferences. That process can include trying different techniques until a useful fit emerges.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and let people join from quieter surroundings or while on a break at work.
