About Martin

Martin Danner is a licensed counselor and marriage and family therapist who draws on cognitive behavioral principles to help clients identify practical steps toward change. He brings nine years of clinical experience in Texas addressing anxiety, stress, depression, and a wide range of relationship and family concerns.

Background and approach

His work also includes support for grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. His approach blends client-centered listening with emotionally-focused techniques and relationship work informed by methods such as the Gottman and Imago models.

He emphasizes solution-oriented collaboration, helping clients clarify goals and practice skills that reduce distress and improve communication. Martin frames therapy as a joint process, offering guidance and encouragement while recognizing each person’s capacity for growth.

Martin accepts sessions in English and provides multiple online formats to fit different needs. Prospective clients in Texas can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a brief matching questionnaire, and scheduling a session according to his availability.

Clinical Approaches and Online Support

Martin integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. EFT centers on understanding emotions and attachment patterns within relationships, helping partners and individuals improve emotional connection and resolve conflict.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailors techniques from CBT, client-centered listening, and emotionally-focused methods to suit each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients in Texas to access care in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care between appointments and to practice skills learned in sessions in daily life.
