About Martha

Martha Greth is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who brings 22 years of experience to supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, trauma, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She combines compassion with practical strategies to help clients manage mood, process loss, and address substance use and post-traumatic responses. Her work integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-based and client-centered perspectives, allowing her to address patterns of thought and behavior while attending to relational wounds and emotional needs.

Martha also draws on mindfulness practices and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills for difficult emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. She pays attention to issues such as caregiver stress, family-of-origin dynamics, guilt and shame, and challenges that can accompany aging and midlife transitions.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and individualized treatment planning, with an aim of strengthening resilience and supporting recovery from painful experiences. Martha holds LCSW and CSW credentials (CO LCSW CSW.00000299) and practices from a trauma-informed, empathetic stance to help clients explore change at a sustainable pace.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Many clients benefit from cognitive behavioral techniques that examine how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; CBT offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful habits. Attachment-based work focuses on relational patterns and early attachment wounds, helping clients understand how past relationships shape current responses and improve emotional connection and inner security. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance and supports personal growth by prioritizing the client's goals and experience.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each person to explore which methods match their needs and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as goals evolve and new challenges arise.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or maintain continuity when travel or mobility is a concern. These formats support ongoing skill practice, regular check-ins, and timely support while preserving the same therapeutic focus that guides in-person work.
