    About Marcus

    Marcus Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and anger. He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to work through challenges. Marcus aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.

    Marcus uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques to help people cope with life changes and build clearer patterns of behavior. He draws on motivational interviewing to explore a person’s own reasons for change and on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors in daily life.

    His background includes work with stress, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Marcus also supports people facing adoption or foster care questions, caregiver stress, aging issues, and relationship strain tied to communication or commitment worries.

    Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented while staying grounded in the client’s values and pace. Marcus helps people break problems into manageable steps and track small wins. He collaborates on plans that fit everyday life and revises them as needs change.

    Marcus practices in Wisconsin and works in English. He holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and brings nearly a decade of clinical experience to each conversation.

  2. How approaches like motivational interviewing and CBT work online

    Marcus combines motivational interviewing with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people clarify goals and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing involves asking guided questions that help a person find their own reasons to change and build motivation at a comfortable pace. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person’s priorities lead the conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tests practical changes that can reduce distress or improve functioning.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively to choose ideas and exercises that fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. If something doesn’t feel helpful, Marcus will adjust the plan and try a different tactic together.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools and homework in their daily environment so new skills are practiced between meetings.
