About Patrick
Patrick Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Patrick lists blended family issues among his areas of focus and often helps people facing parenting and family changes.
He keeps sessions practical and direct. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now, the patterns that keep problems going, and small steps a person can try between meetings. He uses listening and collaborative planning rather than lecture-style advice.
Patrick draws on client-centered techniques to follow a person’s concerns, and uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach skills for emotion regulation and managing stress.
In practice this means he will talk through your current routine, identify stress points, and work with you on strategies you can use at home. For people adjusting to new household roles or co-parenting arrangements, sessions often include communication skills and boundary setting.
Sessions are described plainly and without jargon. Patrick asks about immediate challenges, sets realistic short-term goals, and checks progress regularly. He encourages people to bring specific examples from daily life so work in sessions transfers to everyday situations.
How Patrick’s approaches translate to online work
Patrick commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in his practice. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the issues you bring, helping you clarify goals and priorities. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems, and on practicing new ways of responding to difficult situations.He also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy elements for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-based skills can help with managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving relationships. These approaches are practical and skills-focused, which many people find fits well with remote sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will discuss your needs and try different strategies to see what helps most. That collaborative process includes setting short-term goals and checking progress so adjustments can be made together.
