About Nereida
Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting challenges. She works with individuals coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger, and self-esteem. Nereida also supports people navigating life changes, ADHD, and a range of family-related issues.
She brings 17 years of direct therapy experience and nearly 25 years in the mental health field. That background includes community clinics, nonprofit work, the criminal justice system, and private practice. Those roles shaped her awareness of how social, cultural, and spiritual factors affect daily life.
Her style is client-centered and accepting. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She combines techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, existential approaches, solution-focused work, and motivational interviewing to match each person’s needs.
When working on sleep and rest concerns she helps people notice patterns that affect sleep and develop practical steps to improve routines and calming habits. For parenting and family stress she helps parents sort priorities, set boundaries, and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
People often leave sessions with a clear next step. Nereida aims to guide, encourage, and support progress while respecting each person’s pace and goals.
Approaches that guide online conversations
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to set goals and decide what to work on, which can help with motivation and clarity around sleep, parenting, or relationship issues.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It uses practical steps and experiments to change habits that interfere with sleep, mood, or day-to-day functioning. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many sleep-related patterns.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices. These skills can reduce rumination, ease bedtime anxiety, and improve present-moment awareness during stressful times.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. This conversation happens early and can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, like scheduling short check-ins around work or attending from different locations. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can still cover skill-building, sleep routine planning, coping strategies, and practical problem-solving without requiring travel.
