About Martha
Martha Higgins is a licensed clinical social worker who uses mindfulness-based ways of working to help people manage stress and difficult emotions. She combines mindful awareness with practical tools to make everyday challenges easier to face. Martha communicates in plain language and aims to create a calm space for honest conversation.
She brings 14 years of clinical experience in emotional support and skill-building. That background shows up as practical strategies for handling anxiety, depression, grief, and workplace stress. Martha also addresses relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment.
Her style blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered listening to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to shift unhelpful thinking and build steadier coping habits. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection, boundaries, and trust.
Martha often focuses on emotions like guilt, shame, anger, and emptiness, and on patterns such as codependency and impulsivity. She supports people dealing with trauma, first responder stress, caregiver strain, and career-related distress. Sessions emphasize doable practices rather than abstract ideas.
People who choose Martha can expect collaborative planning. Together they set goals and try techniques that fit everyday life. To begin, a simple match process and scheduling step links someone to her practice.
How mindful and evidence-based approaches translate online
Martha uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Mindfulness work can help with anxiety, stress, and building steady attention in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions even when feelings are hard, which is useful for life changes, depression, and persistent worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing mindfulness exercises, ACT values work, and cognitive tools to address unhelpful thinking patterns.
