Getting to know Annette Martinez
Life often brings unexpected challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from ourselves and those around us. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, gain clarity, and build the tools you need to move toward meaningful change. I approach therapy with compassion, authenticity, and collaboration, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs.
I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and life transitions. I also work with clients who struggle with people-pleasing, boundary setting, or the lingering impact of growing up in complex family dynamics. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with elements of CBT, attachment theory, and somatic awareness, I support clients in building resilience, developing emotional flexibility, and reconnecting with their values. Together, we focus on learning practical coping skills while also addressing the deeper patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
In our work, you’ll find both warmth and structure: a space where your story is heard and validated, while also being guided toward actionable steps that support healing and growth. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” you, but about helping you reconnect with your strengths, discover new possibilities, and create a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
I currently provide therapy via telehealth for clients located in New Jersey and Florida, making it easier to access support from the comfort of your own home. If you are ready to take the next step, I would be honored to partner with you on your journey toward greater well-being and meaningful change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Working with me means you’ll have a supportive, nonjudgmental space where your experiences are respected and your goals are at the center of our work. I see therapy as a collaborative process — we’ll explore what’s most important to you, identify unhelpful patterns, and build practical skills you can use in daily life. I often integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, and attachment-based approaches, but I always tailor sessions to your unique needs. You can expect warmth, compassion, and gentle honesty, with a balance of emotional support and concrete strategies. My goal is not to “fix” you, but to help you reconnect with your values, strengthen your coping skills, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I start by getting to know you — your history, what brings you to therapy, and what goals you’d like to work toward. In the first few sessions, we’ll identify patterns, explore what feels most challenging, and clarify the changes you hope to see. From there, we create a plan tailored to your needs, often blending approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, and attachment-based work. Sessions balance space for processing emotions with practical strategies you can apply outside of therapy. Throughout the process, I check in regularly to make sure our work feels meaningful and aligned with your values. My goal is for therapy to be collaborative, flexible, and supportive of lasting growth.
