About Martha
Martha Higgins is a licensed clinical social worker who combines pragmatic tools with a compassionate, person-centered stance. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns while building clearer communication and stronger self-worth. She uses EMDR therapy among other approaches to help people process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life.
Martha draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach skills for handling tough feelings and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
With 14 years of practice, Martha has guided people through grief, career transitions, caregiver strain, and trauma-related symptoms. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, with space to identify values and small steps toward change. Her work also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, body image, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue.
Martha helps people sort through family-of-origin themes and communication problems that affect current relationships. She offers online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and pricing varies with location and therapist availability.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability. Martha draws on practical strategies and reflective conversation to help people move toward greater emotional balance.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Martha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions aligned with their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current ways of connecting and reacting, which can help with trust and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Martha will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or life changes occur.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t preferred. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, do brief skill practice, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on goals without disrupting daily routines.
