Martha Witt

Martha Witt is a licensed therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and big life changes. She brings 15 years of experience and works in English and Spanish. Martha is based in Oregon and uses a compassionate, straightforward style that aims to make hard conversations feel manageable.

She focuses on practical skills like improving communication, reducing shame, and building self-love. Martha pays attention to attachment patterns and codependency and supports people navigating divorce, separation, blended family tensions, and infidelity. She also addresses multicultural concerns and feelings of isolation and purposelessness.

Martha combines several therapeutic approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when they suit the work.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. Martha aims to create an affirming space where clients can talk through guilt, forgiveness, and relationship patterns. She guides practical steps and exercises you can use between sessions to make steady progress.

Choosing therapy can feel overwhelming. Martha invites people to take one small step toward change and says the first sessions are often about figuring out goals and what feels most helpful.

How Martha’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and building a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on patterns in close relationships and helps people shift how they respond emotionally to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together she and the client decide which blend of ACT, CBT, or EFT techniques makes the most sense for the issues at hand.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options available before booking. The practical benefits often include easier scheduling around work or family demands, fewer trips to an office, and the ability to use brief check-ins when life gets busy. Martha tailors sessions to fit everyday routines and will help plan exercises and coping strategies that can be used between meetings.
