Getting to know Irving Martinez

Hi there, I'm Irving! My name is Irving Martinez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, CA, working with clients in California via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I work with both adolescents and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help my clients create change and move toward a better path. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on my client's current needs. I integrate modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist clients in radically accepting their current reality and developing a plan to improve functioning. My focus Throughout my work, I have found that my approach works best with adolescents and adults experiencing life transitions. Life transitions can take many forms, so I strive to acknowledge each client's unique lived experiences. These experiences often involve anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. I focus on helping clients develop a stronger sense of self and self-actualization. My communication style When I communicate with clients, I express myself in a calm, inclusive, and respectful manner. My goal is to ensure clients feel heard and listened to without fear of judgment. Both verbal and non-verbal communication are key components of the therapeutic process and vital to my work. My journey to therapy My decision to become a therapist was driven by a passion to support people through life's challenges. I have worked with adolescents, adults, and families throughout my career as a community-based therapist, which continues to reinforce the importance of the work I do with all my clients.
