About Martin

Martin Coleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He has 14 years of experience helping people deal with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and career changes. He works with clients who identify as LGBT and supports those facing parenting and family concerns.

Martin aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and respectful. Martin uses a conversational, warm style. He focuses on building trust and a sense of safety so people can talk about hard things.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and tailored to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method. He draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves. That work can make unhelpful patterns clearer and open up new ways of acting.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the session focused on each person’s perspective and goals. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage anxiety and stress in everyday moments. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want short-term, goal-oriented plans to address specific problems.

Martin combines these approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. Martin has spent many years supporting people through life changes, attachment and abandonment concerns, and intimacy-related issues. He also works with people facing substance use struggles, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and questions about kink and alternative sex culture.

People working with him can expect straightforward talk, respect, and flexibility about how therapy looks. He helps clients name goals and build practical steps toward them.

Online session options

How Narrative and Client-Centered Work Translate Online

Martin uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Online sessions can make it easier to bring examples from daily life into conversation and to notice recurring patterns in how someone talks about their challenges. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the way he listens, placing the client’s perspective and goals at the center of the work and encouraging open, nonjudgmental dialogue.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time, and sessions can blend narrative, mindfulness, or solution-focused steps as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone calls can use less bandwidth and fit a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter conversations, ongoing check-ins, or when typing helps someone organize their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules and to keep continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
