About Martha
Martha Kuhn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas who centers her work in cognitive behavioral methods while integrating client-centered and dialectical strategies as appropriate.
Background and approach
She draws on 18 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. Martha frames therapy as a collaborative effort, shaping treatment plans to reflect each person’s needs rather than relying on labels.
Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including parenting and family dynamics, career and life transitions, eating and sleeping issues, anger and self-esteem challenges, and neurodiverse-related needs such as ADHD. She also focuses on more specific areas like abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence or substance use.
Martha emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions and brings practical skills alongside longer-term exploration to help clients build coping tools and make meaningful changes. Clients can expect an interactive, tailored approach that combines evidence-informed techniques with an empathetic therapeutic relationship.
Martha’s background includes work with severe mental health presentations and trauma, and she is engaged in ongoing professional development including work toward a coaching credential and a coauthored book exploring holistic brain perspectives.
How Martha Uses Evidence-Informed Methods Online
Martha commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and modify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard while they explore goals and values. When needed, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to develop emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can support individuals facing intense emotional states.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Martha works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time as progress and priorities become clearer, with an emphasis on practical skill-building alongside deeper exploration.
Online therapy with Martha is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access support from varied locations while working with a licensed professional.
