About Martha
Martha Higgins is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people build clearer self-understanding and firmer self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps you can take to feel steadier during hard changes. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, and she aims to make therapy feel like a useful part of everyday life.
With 14 years of experience, Martha guides people through relationship struggles, work stress, and the fallout from trauma or grief. She also supports clients facing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and the emotional effects of caregiving. Conversations tend to center on what matters most to the client and what small changes could make a difference.
Martha uses a mix of approaches depending on the situation. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and action, and attachment-based perspective to understand relationship patterns. Sessions blend problem-solving, skill practice, and emotional exploration so clients leave with concrete tools.
Her work often addresses complicated feelings like guilt, shame, abandonment, and emptiness. She also helps with communication problems, commitment concerns, and impulse control. The aim is to help people notice old patterns, try different responses, and strengthen their sense of self over time.
People who reach out can expect a calm, steady presence and a focus on doable change. Martha encourages small, sustainable steps - so progress fits into daily life and builds toward longer-term growth.
