About Martha

Martha "Grace" Marquez is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 21 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy questions. She aims to listen first and help clients take small, useful steps forward.

Grace draws from several therapy styles to match each person's needs. She uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice what matters most and act toward those values. The Gottman Method informs her work when relationship patterns and communication issues are part of the concern. Her background includes work across clinical and management settings.

That experience shaped a straightforward, interactive counseling style. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, emotion regulation tools, and clearer communication rather than lengthy theory discussions. People dealing with substance use or co-occurring conditions will find focused attention on addiction and codependency.

She also supports those coping with trauma, eating concerns, bipolar mood patterns, anger, self-esteem, and issues related to gender and LGBT identities. Martha builds treatment plans around a client's goals and pace. She avoids labels and works to reduce shame while encouraging personal strengths.

The process usually blends skill-building, mindfulness practice, and focused talk work to create steady, achievable change.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online care

Many of the methods she uses translate well to online work. The Gottman Method focuses on communication habits and conflict patterns, offering concrete exercises and conversation skills that can be practiced in sessions and at home. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action despite difficult thoughts, using brief experiential exercises and behavioral experiments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical homework, thought records, and skill practice to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their situation, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time based on what helps most, so clients and therapist decide together which tools to use.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates, get quick support, and continue work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while using the same approaches and exercises as in traditional sessions.
