Martin Danner is a Texas-based marriage and family therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 9 years of clinical experience.

Martin integrates a solutions-focused and encouraging stance with evidence-informed methods. His practice draws on cognitive-behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, emotionally-focused work to strengthen attachment and connection, and solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps toward change. He also incorporates psychodynamic ideas when helpful to explore underlying patterns traced to family of origin and attachment history.

In addition to clinical training, Martin is a Level 1 practitioner for the IEQ9 Enneagram assessment for individuals and couples and completed training at the Solution Focused Brief Therapy Center in London. He believes people have the capacity for growth and change, and he supports clients as they pursue their personal goals. Martin offers a collaborative, goal-oriented approach aimed at helping clients move toward healthier relationships and more satisfying lives.

Therapeutic approaches for effective online care

Martin uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s goals and experiences guide the work; this approach is helpful for building trust and exploring personal values and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognizing and reshaping emotional responses and attachment patterns, which can strengthen bonds in couples and improve intimacy and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Martin collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods over time so therapy stays responsive and practical. This collaborative stance helps determine whether a short-term, solution-focused plan or a deeper attachment-oriented course is the best fit.

Online therapy with Martin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and allow therapy to fit into everyday life while maintaining continuity and regular progress.
