Armando Martinez Jr, LPC

Armando Martinez Jr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people feel less stuck. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to help clients regain the resilience needed to move through stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. He presents a calm, direct approach for people who want practical steps and real progress.

Armando believes clients are the experts on their own lives and treats sessions as a collaborative effort. He uses an integrative approach and blends techniques from several methods to match each person's needs. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors, exploring deeper life meaning, or practicing mindfulness skills for daily coping.

He brings eight years of professional experience as a counselor in varied settings. He has worked in hospital inpatient units, served as a behavioral consultant in a school district, and supported at-risk students as a school counselor. He also maintains private practice work in Texas.

In sessions he focuses on concrete tools as well as processing past hurts. Common topics he addresses include relationships, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, addictions, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and issues related to identity and coming out. He also helps people facing abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, and body image struggles.

Armando frames therapy around real-life changes. He aims to guide clients toward clearer choices and better day-to-day coping. People who want straightforward, empathetic help to regain momentum may find his style a good fit.

How his approaches guide online therapy

Armando draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to structure his work online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the client as the expert of their life; it helps when someone needs steady support and a nonjudging space to talk. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior and offers practical exercises that can change daily patterns and reduce anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try techniques that fit those priorities. That means adapting tools over time based on what is most helpful for the client’s situation and goals.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. The methods mentioned translate well to remote sessions because they focus on clear tools, homework tasks, and guided conversations that support progress between meetings.
