Christopher Martin, LPCC, LMHC

Christopher Martin is a licensed counselor who practices in Indiana. He holds a Master of Science in Counseling and Psychology and brings 14 years of professional experience to his work. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

His background includes work with people facing loss, workplace strain, and challenges tied to military service and fatherhood. He blends several approaches so sessions stay focused on real change rather than jargon. Conversations are respectful and steady, aimed at helping people make manageable life changes.

In sessions he helps clients notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and build daily habits that reduce distress. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and on mindfulness to slow down reactions. He also uses client-centered listening to keep the work grounded in each person’s priorities.

Christopher frames goals around acceptance and accountability rather than perfection. He pays attention to how physical health and mood interact, and encourages simple routines that support both. His style is collaborative and practical, with room for realism and self-compassion.

People who prefer straightforward guidance and step-by-step changes may find his approach useful. He asks questions, offers tools, and works together with each person to track progress over time.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then moving toward actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change feelings and behavior. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life, which can help with impulsivity and overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative and may change over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life examples into sessions. If you want to know the exact formats offered, please verify them during scheduling.
