Christopher Martin, LPCC, LMHC

Christopher Martin is a licensed counselor serving clients in Indiana and Ohio. He holds the credentials LPCC and LMHC - terms that stand for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and brings 14 years of clinical experience to his practice. He also earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University, training that underpins his trauma-informed and client-centered work.

Christopher has specialized in trauma-focused therapy and supports people coping with stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and self-esteem concerns. He also works with a broad range of related issues including abandonment, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, and veteran and armed forces issues. His approach blends acceptance-based strategies with cognitive-behavioral tools and person-centered principles to help clients make sustainable, everyday changes rather than chase perfection.

Christopher emphasizes the mind-body connection and aims to build resilience through practical skills and compassionate collaboration. He tailors treatment plans to each person’s needs, listening with respect and sensitivity while encouraging accountability and growth. Taking the first step is often difficult, and he approaches that process with encouragement and thoughtful support.

Approaches that guide online care and collaboration

Christopher commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to act in line with what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their feelings and priorities and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce distress and improve coping across a range of concerns including mood and relationship issues.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher works collaboratively with each person to identify which approaches match their goals, strengths, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and location. These options allow clients to access consistent care from licensed professionals while fitting therapy into their daily lives and routines.
