About Martha McKenzie
Martha McKenzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW with 25 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults through a wide range of life challenges. She earned a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from Florida State University after returning to school following marriage, parenthood, and divorce. She received her LCSW in 2010, and her clinical credentials reflect advanced training and authorization to provide psychotherapy.
Her personal journey has informed a compassionate, respectful approach to care. Life experience and professional training combine to help her connect with people facing grief, relationship struggles, career transitions, and parenting concerns. She speaks Spanish and studied the language in high school and college; her background includes growing up with a parent who worked with languages, which helped cultivate her interest in bilingual practice.
McKenzie has extensive experience across settings and age groups, including work with older adults, teenagers, children, and families. She has provided support for depression, anxiety, stress, OCD, ADHD, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, substance use, and a range of family and relationship issues. She identifies a particular specialty in assessing and treating ADHD in adolescents and adults, with ongoing professional learning through workshops, seminars, and current literature.
Her counseling style is warm, informal, and interactive. Treatment is collaborative and goal-oriented, with plans developed jointly so that goals reflect each person’s priorities. She draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and psychodynamic ideas. McKenzie also offers Christian counseling when that is requested and is available to provide services in Spanish. She aims to empower people to find practical strategies and build resilience as they move toward more fulfilling lives.

Could Remote Sessions Work For You?
Many people wonder whether online therapy can really make a difference. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their routine and comfort level - whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to keep appointments and apply what is learned in therapy to day-to-day life.
Licensed professionals provide these services, and it is possible to change therapists if a different fit is desired. For many, remote sessions offer a practical, effective way to pursue support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
