Martha "Marti" Stany, LCSW, CSW

Martha "Marti" Stany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of practice, based in Wisconsin. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and a range of other mental health and life challenges. She also lists experience with LGBTQ issues, addictions, parenting struggles, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Marti draws on several evidence-informed methods in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer choices rather than labels. Conversations often include learning how thoughts and behaviors interact, practicing emotional regulation skills, and looking at attachment patterns that shape relationships.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process that centers the person's own goals and strengths. That can mean working on communication skills, setting boundaries, managing impulses like anger, or creating routines that improve sleep and eating. Marti also addresses issues tied to sexuality and alternative sex culture when clients bring them up.

Her background includes a decade of clinical work across multiple states and with diverse populations. She combines talking, skill practice, and behavioral experiments so people can try new ways of responding between sessions. English is the language used in sessions.

Scheduling starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
