Martha Greth, LCSW, CSW

Martha Greth is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. She draws on 22 years of practice to offer steady, practical support. Her approach is calm and direct, focused on small steps that add up to real change.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and clear tools to manage symptoms. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now and testing different ways to cope. Martha uses everyday language and concrete strategies so goals feel manageable.

Her work emphasizes how early relationships shape current patterns. Martha helps people recognize attachment wounds and the routines that keep them stuck. She also addresses shame, guilt, and family-of-origin issues that often underlie emotional pain.

Martha incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people feel heard and steady in the moment.

Over her career she has supported people through caregiver stress, midlife shifts, substance use concerns, postpartum depression, and veteran-related issues. Martha aims to be practical and compassionate while helping people regain a sense of control and connection.

Approaches that guide online work and practical tools

Martha commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT-style work often involves simple experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety, low mood, or addictive patterns.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current reactions. That approach helps people make sense of relationship patterns, attachment wounds, and how those patterns show up in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Martha will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and she adapts techniques as progress is made. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels achievable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works well for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum.
