About Martha
Martha Higgins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oklahoma with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common life stressors such as anxiety, depression, grief, career strain, and anger. Martha also helps people who face issues around relationships, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and the practical strains of caregiving and first responder work.
Her style draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and shift toward values-based action. She also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationship patterns. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented, with chances to practice new ways of responding between meetings.
Martha helps clients untangle problems like codependency, control issues, impulsivity, and communication breakdowns. She works with concerns about abandonment, family of origin problems, and forgiveness. Practical skills for stress, anger, and compassion fatigue are part of the work when those issues come up.
People who come to her usually want clearer boundaries, steadier moods, and better ways to handle conflict. She combines client-centered listening with concrete tools from DBT and CBT so clients can try small changes and measure results. If someone needs help navigating a life transition, rebuilding self-esteem, or managing workplace frustration, she offers straightforward strategies and steady clinical experience.
Martha conducts therapy in English and practices in Oklahoma. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session.
How sessions work
How Martha uses ACT, CBT, and attachment ideas online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps people move toward what matters even when emotions are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful habits. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and mood shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships influence current ways of connecting and reacting, which can clarify patterns in intimate or work relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming one method will be used forever.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using in-the-moment skills at home or during breaks at work. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment techniques to online meetings so practical skills and relationship patterns can be addressed without changing the core clinical work.
