About Patrick
Patrick Martinez welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. He focuses on helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Patrick writes treatment plans around each person's needs and priorities rather than applying one fixed approach.
He practices with kindness, respect, and sensitivity. Conversations are shaped to match what each person brings to the room. Patrick emphasizes practical steps you can try between sessions alongside discussion during appointments.
Over 12 years of work in Colorado settings have given him experience with addictions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting questions, career stress, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and relational problems like commitment or communication difficulties.
Patrick blends several approaches to fit the person in front of him. He draws on client-centered methods to build the relationship, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness skills to calm the nervous system. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help when people need support finding motivation and taking practical steps.
Taking a first step can feel hard. Patrick aims to make that step clearer and more manageable by offering steady support and collaborative planning. He asks questions, listens closely, and helps people find actions that fit their daily life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes building a trusting relationship and focusing on what matters most to the person. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through immediate concerns and shape goals together.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are practical for anger, relationship strain, and intense mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, then bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion and adjustment.
