Martin Coleman, LPC

Martin Coleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings 14 years of experience to his clinical work. He has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including LGBT matters, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting and blended family issues, career transitions, and the effects of physical trauma or emotional abuse.

His therapeutic manner is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He focuses on building strong rapport and trust so that clients feel heard and understood, and he adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's unique circumstances and goals.

Martin works with individuals and families on issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems, addiction recovery, and caregiving stress. He also has experience with alternative sexual cultures and kink-informed concerns, and with helping clients navigate separation, forgiveness, and the challenges of fatherhood.

Throughout his practice he emphasizes collaborative care, tailoring interventions to meet practical needs while encouraging personal insight and growth. He looks forward to supporting new clients as they work toward greater clarity, resilience, and healthier relationships.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Care

Martin draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and their goals shape the work; this approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. He also uses mindfulness therapy tools to help clients build present-moment awareness and skills for managing anxiety, stress, and emotional reactivity. Narrative therapy is part of his toolkit as well, helping people reframe their personal stories and separate identity from difficult experiences, which can be useful for issues like attachment, abandonment, and recovery from trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Martin works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and the practice also supports live chat and text-based messaging for ongoing check-ins or when scheduling is difficult. These options make it easier to access consistent care, maintain momentum between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy or changing life.
