Martina Cisneros, LCSW

Martina Cisneros is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California and Texas with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and addiction. Martina also helps with parenting stress, sleep problems, career concerns, ADHD, and navigating life changes.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses evidence-based methods to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and build clearer ways of coping. Sessions often include skills practice, values clarification, and communication work. Martina draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.

Martina pays attention to cultural background and identity when relevant to a client's concerns. She supports people dealing with issues around sexuality and LGBT identity, adoption and foster care questions, aging and caregiver stress, and blended family challenges. She also addresses complex grief, abandonment issues, and recovery-related needs.

People can expect direct, steady guidance aimed at everyday functioning. Martina focuses on concrete changes such as better sleep routines, clearer boundaries, and improved problem solving. Sessions emphasize small, doable steps that fit into real life.

Outside work she enjoys gardening, cooking, music, outdoor activities, and spending time with family and grandchildren. Those interests inform a practical style that values routines, creativity, and finding manageable ways forward.
