About Rita
Dr. Rita Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people identify current problems and set clear goals. She emphasizes building trust so clients and she can work as a team toward change.
Dr. Martin focuses on increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance. She supports people who want to stop self-sabotaging behaviors and improve day-to-day functioning. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, grief, addiction, and sleep problems.
Her training includes a Master of Arts in Student Personnel Services, Counseling and a Doctor of Behavioral Health. She holds LPC credentials in multiple states and brings practical skills to sessions. Her background supports work on both short-term goals and longer patterns that keep problems recurring.
In sessions she combines several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with emotionally-focused work and mindfulness tools, and she may use hypnotherapy or motivational interviewing when appropriate. The focus is on clear steps clients can use between meetings to build confidence and reduce symptoms.
Dr. Martin asks clients to describe their goals and current struggles at the start. Together they map out achievable steps and track progress. This straightforward, collaborative way of working aims to make therapy feel useful from the first weeks onward.
