Patrick Martinez, LPC

Patrick Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and the practical challenges of life changes. He also addresses relationship strain, anger, addiction concerns, grief, and career-related stress.

Patrick uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work. He listens to what is happening now and helps people identify small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions focus on concrete skills and steps rather than abstract theory.

His approach draws on client-centered methods and evidence-based tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques support emotion regulation and handling strong feelings without acting on them.

Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing are part of how he helps people find motivation and stay on track. He blends these tools to address things like anger, coping with loss, and substance use concerns. Work can include short exercises, skill practice, and real-world planning.

Patrick frames sessions as collaborative; he and the client plan what to try next and check progress. He aims to help people build habits that reduce snapping at others, ease workplace frustration, and lower the build-up of resentment. People who want direct, practical steps to manage strong emotions often find this approach useful.
