About Akilah
Akilah Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Texas. She has ten years of clinical experience and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship issues. Akilah uses clear, practical methods to help people set and reach goals they choose for themselves.
She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of North Texas, and completed a Master of Arts in Counseling at Sam Houston State University with a focus in marriage and family therapy.
Background and approach
Akilah holds LPC credentials in Texas and Arizona and has a decade of work supporting adults through a range of challenges. Her approach centers on listening first. She treats each person as the expert on their life and then offers tools and skills to address problems like anxiety, depression, grief, or parenting strain.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Akilah combines techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and the Gottman Method to meet individual needs. She adapts methods to each person rather than using one rigid style.
Her background includes work related to foster care, substance use, adjustment difficulties, family and communication problems, ADHD, and histories of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Her goal is to help people feel heard, gain confidence, and make changes that fit their lives.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Akilah often combines approaches so people get what helps them most. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and managing conflicts in relationships by teaching specific skills and exercises. Client-Centered Therapy centers on understanding a person’s experience and offering supportive, nonjudgmental listening to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process lets sessions evolve as progress is made or needs change.
Online therapy makes those approaches easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people reflect between meetings. These options provide flexibility so therapy can match a person’s schedule and comfort while focusing on real, practical change.
