About Armando
Armando Martinez Jr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people feeling stuck regain momentum. He speaks English and Spanish and focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, addiction, ADHD, and life transitions.
He centers the work on each person's experience and goals. He sees clients as the experts on their lives and uses an integrative approach to fit individual needs.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical strategies and small changes that add up over time. Armando brings eight years of counseling experience along with additional background in hospital and school settings from earlier roles. That mix informs how he adapts techniques for different situations and personalities.
He has worked with people who faced trauma, mood struggles, and behavioral concerns. In sessions he blends approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets him focus on solving current problems while also looking at patterns that keep people stuck.
People can expect straightforward talk, practical coping tools, and help setting achievable steps. He aims to restore resilience and help people make meaningful changes without overwhelming them. The focus is on what the client wants to change and how to get there.
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Armando often uses client-centered therapy, which centers on the person's own experience and goals. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and letting their priorities guide each session. It is useful when someone wants a supportive space to make sense of things and decide next steps.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective ones. CBT is practical and action-focused, helping with anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills. Mindfulness practices are another tool he brings in to help people build attention and calm in the moment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals and preferences. Together they check whether a chosen method is helping and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people connect face to face when that feels important. Phone calls can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats are meant to make therapy more flexible and fit into different routines.
