About

Kathleen Martello is a warm, empathic, kind-hearted counselor who is known for attentive listening and a genuine commitment to helping others. She finds deep meaning and purpose in supporting people as they work toward positive change and improved quality of life.

She earned her master’s degree from Nyack College in New York and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), credentials that indicate advanced training and professional licensure to provide counseling services. Kathleen offers therapy in both English and Spanish, and she can also incorporate Christian counseling when it aligns with a client’s preferences and goals.

Her work draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a psychodynamic perspective to explore how earlier experiences can shape present-day patterns, including unhelpful core beliefs. She also integrates behavioral strategies to strengthen interpersonal skills, along with solution-focused and problem-solving methods to clarify what may be driving current concerns. Motivational interviewing techniques may be used to help clients sort through ambivalence and move toward choices that feel right for them.

Kathleen also supports individuals who have experienced interpersonal violence, including domestic violence, and helps clients work through the impacts of narcissistic abuse. She welcomes clients who are ready to take the next step and build progress toward their personal goals.

Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Kathleen Martello integrates evidence-informed approaches that can be effectively adapted to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills for responding differently, which can be especially useful for concerns like anxiety, stress, depression, and self-esteem challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, supporting people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their values. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients feel understood and more able to explore their experiences at their own pace.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Kathleen collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then adjusts the approach to match each person’s needs and comfort level over time.

Online therapy can also make it easier to stay consistent. Sessions may be held through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, parenting demands, or times when in-person appointments feel hard to manage. This range of options can help clients stay engaged and supported between sessions.
