About Martha
Martha Cobb is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 26 years of experience based in North Carolina. She supports people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, relationship struggles, and ADHD. Martha aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for those feeling overwhelmed by life changes.
She listens first and asks questions to understand each person's daily challenges. Sessions focus on concrete steps clients can try between meetings, such as new communication habits or manageable coping tools.
Background and approach
Martha uses plain language and steady pacing to keep conversations clear and focused. Her background includes long experience helping people rebuild after loss, process experiences of abuse or domestic violence, and address problems with impulsivity or self-esteem. She also helps with parenting stress, caregiver burden, aging concerns, and navigating separation or divorce.
Martha brings attention to how emotional pain shows up in behavior and relationships. Martha draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness to shape practical plans with each person. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when people want short-term, goal-oriented support.
The work is collaborative and adjusted to each person's pace. People who prefer clear, task-oriented sessions tend to do well with her style. She offers care in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible engagement.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to fit the client's needs.
Approaches that fit remote care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens with empathy and helps people name what matters to them, which can help when dealing with depression, grief, or relationship strain.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful habits. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges where clear strategies and practice make a difference.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can be paired with other methods to help with stress, anger, and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try out methods, and adjust based on your goals and what feels useful. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits each person’s life and preferences.
Online sessions let people access care without commuting and provide flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to share between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or daily responsibilities.
