About Armando

Armando Martinez Jr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people who feel stuck regain their strength and direction. He speaks English and Spanish and draws on eight years in the field to guide conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, and life transitions. He aims to meet people where they are and help them find practical steps forward.

Armando treats a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and issues related to caregiving and aging and geriatric issues. He also works with people facing identity and relationship questions, parenting stress, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care. He frames these topics in everyday terms and focuses on problem solving that fits a person's life.

His approach centers on the client as the expert on their life. He blends methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, existential ideas, and psychodynamic perspectives to suit each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative, and he uses strategies meant to restore resilience and create concrete change.

Armando's background includes work in inpatient settings and as a school counselor and behavioral consultant. That range has shaped a practical style that balances short-term goals and deeper personal exploration. He invites people to begin a process of new beginnings and to take care of their mental well being.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, attention to daily challenges, and a focus on skills that can be used between sessions.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates space for people to describe what matters to them and helps turn those priorities into practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses concrete changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with the client to see which methods match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a few ideas and adjusting over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.

Please confirm current session options before booking, since specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and skill practice between meetings, so progress continues outside the session.
