    About Martha

    Martha Witt is a licensed counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and drops in self-esteem. She supports those facing big life changes and guides them toward clearer values and steadier coping. Martha communicates in English and Spanish and practices in Oregon.

    She focuses on helping people build self-love and healthier communication. Martha talks with clients about shame, guilt, isolation, and attachment patterns. She offers support through divorce and separation and helps people repair after infidelity or blended family strain.

    Martha draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. She uses Motivational Interviewing to explore what matters most to a client and to help find internal reasons to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and commit to small, practical steps.

    Her work also includes elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered methods when those fit the person’s needs. Sessions aim to be collaborative and grounded in real-life goals like better communication, improved self-care, or managing stress and post-traumatic responses.

    With 15 years of experience, Martha blends practical skills with steady support. She invites people to talk through difficult feelings, try new coping strategies, and discover clearer priorities in their lives.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and highlighting personal values so motivation grows from within. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters to them and commit to small actions aligned with those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, a shorter phone check-in can work during a lunch break, and video sessions let people keep visual cues in session. Remote work can reduce travel time and help sustain regular, ongoing appointments to practice new skills between meetings.
