About Aldemar

Aldemar Martinez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience in mental health practice. As an LCSW he holds a credential that authorizes clinical work with individuals and families, bringing a depth of training in assessment and therapeutic intervention. He also earned a degree in Psychology, which he uses alongside social work methods to shape a holistic, person-focused approach to care.

Martinez is a Certified Trauma Professional and relies on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as his primary framework when addressing trauma. He draws on Narrative Therapy to help people recognize and reframe the personal stories and strengths they already carry, and he regularly incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and develop healthier habits. Across these methods he emphasizes practical skills as well as personal meaning, adapting techniques to fit each person’s circumstances.

He values the human connection as a vital force in therapeutic change and encourages clients to view therapy as an active partnership. He welcomes those who are ready to take steps toward change and commends the decision to engage in the work of healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Aldemar Martinez works from a blend of proven approaches tailored to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and it supports taking meaningful action in line with personal values; it is often useful for trauma, anxiety, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to create healthier routines and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship in which the person’s own goals and insights guide the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is made collaboratively. Martinez works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing connection between appointments. These formats make consistent care more accessible while allowing licensed professionals to deliver focused, goal-driven support.
