About Martha
Martha Higgins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oklahoma with 14 years of practice. She works with people facing relationship strain, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and a range of life transitions. Her focus includes self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and communication problems.
Martha helps people untangle attachment wounds and abandonment fears that affect how they connect with others. She uses straightforward talk and skills-based work to address patterns like codependency, control issues, impulsivity, and shame. Sessions include practical strategies people can use between appointments.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and build actions that match personal values. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early family influences and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Martha often addresses workplace stress, caregiver strain, and first responder issues with clear plans for managing burnout and daily pressures. She works on concrete communication skills for repair and boundary-setting. The aim is to produce steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
People who come to her can expect direct discussion about patterns, homework-style practice when useful, and ongoing checking of goals. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's online options.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns that feed depression and anxiety, and it includes practical exercises to use between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections, which can help with trust, abandonment, and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about what is working and adapt methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This conversation continues over the first few sessions so the plan fits the person's life and priorities.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video or audio depending on bandwidth and comfort, and supports practice of skills between meetings to reinforce progress.
