About Nereida
Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, sleep trouble, self-esteem issues, ADHD, and life changes.
She draws on long experience in community clinics, nonprofit organizations, the criminal justice system, and private practice. That variety informs how she looks at social, cultural, and spiritual factors that shape everyday problems. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with steps people can use between meetings.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods to listen and clarify what matters most. She also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going, and from mindfulness to help manage physical tension and reactivity.
Nereida combines those approaches with motivational interviewing and existential ideas when useful. That mix is used to set clear, manageable goals and to address questions about purpose and values. She works with people on concrete skills such as communication, anger regulation, sleep routines, and coping strategies.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. The profile notes Texas as her practice location and that she has many years working across settings and age groups. To confirm current session options and formats, readers should check the booking details before scheduling.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and clarifying what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach still prioritize the client's priorities and personal goals, with the therapist helping shape next steps and manageable tasks.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) online concentrates on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active. It often includes short exercises or worksheets between sessions to practice new ways of responding to anger, anxiety, or low mood.
Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and physical tension. These can be guided during a session and practiced at home to help with sleep, stress, and impulsive responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That helps set clear, achievable targets for how sessions will proceed.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in everyday settings. Ask about formats and timing when you schedule so sessions match your routine.
