Martha Witt

Martha Witt is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Oregon who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people coping with major life changes, including divorce and separation, and the strain that comes with those transitions.

Her approach is practical and compassionate. Sessions focus on clearer communication, rebuilding self-love, and reducing isolation, guilt, and shame. She pays attention to attachment patterns and patterns of codependency that can make relationships feel stuck.

Martha uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and work through strong feelings in relationship challenges.

She brings 15 years of experience to her work and often supports people dealing with blended family issues, infidelity, forgiveness, and finding life purpose. Martha also attends to multicultural concerns and the ways cultural background shapes coping and identity.

Conversations are grounded in respect for each person’s story. She encourages practical steps and honest reflection so people can move forward from painful experiences and build more fulfilling relationships.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It can support people facing life transitions and questions of meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is practical for handling stress and changing everyday patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and processing strong emotions tied to relationship problems, which can help when healing from infidelity or rebuilding trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where you and the clinician decide what feels most useful.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use phone-only sessions if bandwidth is limited or prefer to avoid video. Discuss practical preferences during the initial planning so sessions match everyday life and personal routines.
