About Austria
Austria Martinez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings 13 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, career concerns, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make it easier to take the first step toward change.
Her approach mixes Systemic ideas with practical therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered methods. Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies to manage thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based techniques when they fit a person's goals. In a session she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult experiences. She listens for patterns in relationships and daily life, then helps identify small shifts that reduce distress.
Mindfulness exercises and skills practice are used to build steady coping over time. A particular emphasis is on trauma, grief, and the strain that life changes can bring. She supports people working through attachment concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, or career stress.
Practical skills for emotional regulation and communication are common focuses. Therapy is tailored to each person's needs and identity. She aims to collaborate on goals, track progress, and adjust methods as needed so sessions stay relevant and helpful.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Systemic thinking looks at how patterns in relationships and daily routines affect a person's well-being. In online sessions this means identifying recurring interaction patterns and testing small changes that can reduce stress and improve communication.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching simple exercises to notice thoughts, accept difficult feelings, and move toward meaningful goals.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship history shapes current closeness and trust. Work in this mode helps people recognize attachment patterns and practice different ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist make decisions together about which strategies to keep.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work around bandwidth limits. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care around work and family demands.
