About Martin

Martin Coleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career questions, and LGBTQ matters. Martin presents as warm and interactive, aiming to make conversations straightforward and approachable for someone under pressure.

He has worked as a counselor since 2007 and brings 14 years of experience to his practice. His work includes supporting people who have faced emotional abuse or physical trauma and those dealing with addiction, separation, or caregiving strain. He also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns and supports people exploring BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture.

Martin shapes sessions around each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. He leans on Client-Centered methods to keep the focus on the person’s goals and Narrative and Solution-Focused approaches to help reframe problems and build practical steps forward. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when that fits.

People often come with overlapping stresses - work pressure, parenting demands, and relationship conflict. Martin works to break those down into clear, manageable steps. He pays attention to communication patterns, commitment worries, and feelings of emptiness so clients can see change in day-to-day life.

Conversations are offered in English and Martin accepts international clients. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on putting the person’s goals and experience at the center of the conversation. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps clients decide the next steps that feel right for them. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. Reframing those stories can reduce shame and open up different ways to act and relate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martin will discuss options and make adjustments based on what a client needs and prefers. He treats the process as collaborative, checking in on goals and changing course when something isn’t helping.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Because the biography doesn’t list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain continuity during life changes and make it simpler to balance parenting, work, and appointments.
