Armando Martinez Jr, LPC

Armando Martinez Jr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people feel less stuck and regain everyday resilience. He speaks English and Spanish and uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients find workable solutions for life stressors.

Armando centers sessions on the person in front of him. He treats each individual as the expert on their own life and adapts his approach to fit personal goals. That can mean skill-building, talking through patterns, or trying new ways to cope with stress and change.

His work draws from several approaches, including cognitive behavioral ideas that look at thoughts and behaviors, client-centered techniques that follow a person's lead, and mindfulness practices that build moment-to-moment awareness. He combines these with other methods when it fits the situation to help people move toward clearer choices.

Armando has eight years of professional experience as an LPC and has worked across clinical and educational settings. He has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, ADHD, and parenting challenges, among other issues.

Sessions may include practical homework, short-term problem solving, or longer conversations about life patterns. The goal is to restore a sense of agency and develop tools that help clients manage stress and cope with changes.

People who contact him typically start by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits their needs and timing.

How Armando adapts therapy methods to online care

Armando commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical strategies and small behavior changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's goals, creating space for people to lead the conversation and explore what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before to choose methods that fit. That collaboration allows adjustments over time so techniques match a person's pace and needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people use visual cues and face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while using approaches like CBT and client-centered work effectively.
