Martha Sorenson, LICSW

Martha Sorenson is a Minnesota LICSW with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her work is aimed at people who are fed up with snapping at loved ones, feeling stuck after loss, or struggling with resentment that keeps building.

Martha uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to address painful memories and current problems. She helps clients name patterns that keep them stuck, practice new ways of responding, and build clearer communication skills. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than jargon. Martha encourages small, repeatable changes that lower stress and reduce outbursts.

She often works with people confronting codependency, family of origin issues, and problems tied to addiction. Martha also supports those coping with divorce, domestic violence aftermath, immigration stress, and loneliness. She brings attention to attachment patterns and how they shape relationships and anger responses.

Martha explains how shame and guilt feed difficult behaviors and helps clients develop different ways to react. She offers tools for managing triggers, improving impulse control, and repairing strained relationships. Sessions include talking through incidents, learning new coping skills, and practicing clearer communication.
