About Armando
Armando Martinez Jr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He frames therapy around each person's strengths and helps people who feel stuck regain momentum. He emphasizes practical steps so daily life feels more manageable and hopeful.

Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable changes that add up over time. He has worked across clinical and educational settings, including inpatient units and schools. That background has involved supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavior concerns.
He has also worked with students considered at risk and provided behavioral consultation in school systems. In the therapy room he helps people map out tools for resilience. That includes coping skills for stress and anxiety, strategies for relationship and communication problems, and methods to address mood and self-esteem.
He also supports people facing grief, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Martinez speaks English and Spanish. He offers an approach that is collaborative and practical, aiming to restore the ability to cope and move forward.
He encourages starting with a short conversation to see if his way of working fits the person's needs.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building the plan around the person's priorities. It helps when someone needs support to sort through feelings and decide what matters most in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and bring more calm to daily life. It pairs well with other methods to manage worry and reactivity.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to test what helps, adjust methods, and set realistic steps toward goals. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client's needs, preferences, and pace.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit short check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
