Dr. Martin Kaufmann, LPC

Dr. Martin Kaufmann helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD concerns, relationship strain, career crossroads, trauma and the challenges of life change. He also supports people looking for coaching around motivation, confidence, and professional growth. His approach is straightforward and practical.

He aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on clear skills and small steps that fit into everyday life. He uses methods that help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build better routines.

Dr. Kaufmann draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop more effective coping. He also integrates acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and act on them. Mindfulness and dialectical skills are used to manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.

With six years of experience and a Colorado LPC credential, he blends counseling and coaching to address both emotional struggles and practical goals. That mix can help people who want symptom relief as well as clearer direction in work or life choices.

Sessions are presented in ways that match each person’s needs, whether that means problem-focused work or exploring life purpose and meaning. Dr. Kaufmann emphasizes collaboration - clients set priorities and he helps design steps to meet them.

How practical approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Kaufmann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often involves setting small experiments and practicing new skills between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is offered to help clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques may be used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He collaborates with each client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and real-time role practice. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching prompts, or continuing skills practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
