About Nereida
Nereida Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem. She also lists blended family issues and ADHD among her focus areas. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Before private practice, she worked in community clinics, nonprofit programs, and the criminal justice system. That variety shaped how she notices social, cultural, and spiritual influences on daily life. She has worked with people facing grief, intimacy-related issues, and life transitions. She has experience helping people manage mood disorders and disruptive behavior concerns such as DMDD.
Nereida uses practical, conversational techniques. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build direction with each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns and to try small experiments that change those patterns. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing also appear in her approach when useful.
Her work aims to help people develop clearer communication, handle co-parenting or blended household tensions, and make decisions about separation or divorce when those issues arise. She helps parents with parenting challenges and people coping with guilt, shame, or immigration-related stress.

How therapy approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. The therapist follows a person’s lead, reflects what is important, and helps set practical goals. This approach is useful for working through loyalty conflicts, parenting decisions, and blended household stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions use simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage anger. CBT is often chosen for mood concerns and anxiety related to family change.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and pick methods together based on the client's goals and preferences. Plans can change over time as needs shift or as people try new strategies.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a workday and fewer travel demands. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find short scheduled check-ins or weekly sessions help keep progress steady while juggling blended household responsibilities.
