Getting to know Denise Martinez

Hi there, I'm Denise! My name is Denise Martinez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles. I work with young adults, adults, older adults, and couples addressing issues including anxiety, depression, grief, family and relationship conflict, gender identity, addiction, career/work matters, school stress, parenting, aging, and life transitions. My approach I consider myself an Eclectic therapist, using theories and interventions from various therapeutic practices. At the onset, I frequently use Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients address their concerns. As I build a trusting relationship, I may adjust my approach if another practice seems more effective. My focus My clients include young adults, adults, older adults, and couples. Common concerns include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, occupational concerns, college stress, trauma, LGBTQ issues, aging, life transitions, family, and parenting challenges. My social work education and experience emphasize being mindful and considerate of each client's diverse backgrounds and experiences. My communication style I strive to be fully present, listen to understand, and be open to clarification. My goal is to create a safe, trusting environment where clients feel heard. I hope you feel I am present to provide support, knowledge, and encouragement as you take steps to improve your life. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I am truly interested in people, their lives, stories, and experiences.
