About Nereida
Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults, teens, and children on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting, relationship problems, and attention challenges like ADHD.
She draws on long experience in community clinics, nonprofits, the criminal justice system, and private practice. That range helps her consider the everyday stresses people face - financial strain, immigration issues, family conflict, and work pressures - when planning treatment.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change. She uses conversation, problem-solving, and concrete behavioral strategies to address symptoms like poor sleep, anger, low self-esteem, and mood swings.
Nereida also uses elements of cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and existential ideas when they fit the situation. That mix helps with coping skills, decision making, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.
She speaks English and Spanish and has specific experience with blended family issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, grief, disruptive mood dysregulation concerns, and immigration-related stress. People can expect direct feedback, practical suggestions, and a focus on realistic steps toward goals.
To begin, she asks about the client’s current challenges and priorities, then together they set small, measurable goals. Over time sessions track progress and adjust strategies to fit changing needs.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping clients set their own goals. In online sessions this looks like collaborative problem lists, prioritizing immediate concerns, and checking in on what worked between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with clear activities. Online CBT often uses short skill-building exercises, behavior experiments, and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; these techniques can be practiced during or between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options and decide together which strategies fit a person's goals, values, and daily routine. The plan can change as progress is tracked and new needs appear.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Many people find virtual appointments easier to schedule around work, school, or childcare. Because the therapist's session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking so you know whether phone, video, or another format is offered. Online work still centers on clear goals, homework when useful, and regular check-ins to measure progress.
