About Martha

Martha Kuhn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and issues related to parenting and career. Her background also includes helping people with addictions, ADHD, grief, intimacy concerns, and patterns of codependency.

Martha uses straightforward talk therapy informed by client-centered principles and practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy. She focuses on helping people learn skills they can use between sessions, such as managing strong emotions, testing unhelpful thoughts, and making small behavior changes that add up.

Her approach is interactive. Sessions involve listening, asking focused questions, and trying out strategies together. She blends problem-solving and skills practice with attention to how past experiences shape current patterns, including family of origin and abandonment themes.

Martha has worked with people affected by both physical trauma and emotional abuse. She also brings experience addressing co-occurring concerns like substance use and mood disorders. Over time she helps clients notice repeating patterns and practice different responses to stress, control issues, and communication problems.

She writes about the brain and is working toward a coaching credential. People who want practical tools, clearer boundaries, and help managing intense feelings may find her approach useful.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach still center on the client's goals, feelings, and choices and help people feel heard while planning next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In online sessions CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioral experiments between meetings, and practicing new skills during check-ins. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for managing intense feelings and relationship patterns; online meetings can include skills coaching and rehearsal.

Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on their goals, history, and preferences. Sessions can blend approaches and adjust over time as needs change.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to practice techniques from home or work during a lunch break. Licensed professionals can use online meetings to review skills, assign practical exercises, and track progress without requiring extra travel.
