About Zachary Martin
Zachary Martin brings a steady, calming presence to his work as a therapist, a quality that guided him to a helping profession early in life. He began his clinical path working in adult residential settings for people with developmental disabilities while completing his education, and he earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy with a minor in psychology in 2008. That uncommon background in philosophy informs his approach to cognitive behavioral and existential work, offering a broader lens on thought patterns and life meaning.
He completed a master’s degree in Social Work in 2013 and has post-graduate experience across foster and adoption services, child welfare investigations, inpatient hospitalization, interdisciplinary team work, and outpatient therapy. This varied clinical history gives him a broad perspective on the many factors that can contribute to mental health challenges. He is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and has focused his outpatient practice on helping clients address stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and a wide range of life transitions.
Zachary’s therapeutic style draws from cognitive behavioral, narrative, mindfulness, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic theories. His primary aim is to create a comfortable environment where clients can express themselves openly, and then to collaborate on practical interventions tailored to produce meaningful results for each person.

Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapeutic Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more constructive patterns. It is practical and problem-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, values, and personal responsibility, helping clients navigate crises related to purpose, loss, and identity. This approach can be useful for people facing major life transitions or existential concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and feelings; it supports emotional regulation, stress reduction, and improved coping with chronic worry or rumination.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Zachary works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant rather than fixed to a single model.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessing care from home or other convenient locations. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility around work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and mobility limits. For many people, these options make it easier to maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals and continue progress between sessions.
