About Martha

Martha McKenzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW based in Georgia with 25 years of professional experience supporting children, teenagers, adults, and older adults. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, eating and parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, and the emotional impact of life changes. She brings particular clinical interest and depth of knowledge to ADHD in adolescents and adults, and she has extensive experience working with clients facing domestic violence, substance use, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and issues related to gender and sexual identity.

Martha’s counseling approach blends client-centered principles with cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative-informed work to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Her style is warm, casual, and interactive, focusing on collaborative goal-setting so that clients play an active role in defining and achieving their objectives. She is also able to provide counseling in Spanish and offers faith-informed options when appropriate.

Clients benefit from Martha’s decades of experience and her respectful, empathetic manner. She accepts new clients in Georgia and works with individuals and families who are ready to explore practical coping skills, healing from past events, and strategies for long-term change and resilience.

CBT, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more effective ways of thinking and behaving - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical skills for staying present and noticing thoughts and emotions without judgment - this approach can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people find their own reasons for change and build motivation, which can be especially helpful for addiction, behavior change, and ambivalence about treatment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Martha works collaboratively with each client to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and then adapts techniques from these approaches to create a personalized plan. Clients are invited to give input so therapy reflects their values and pace.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those with mobility or transportation constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals from home or another comfortable space while still receiving evidence-informed treatment and active therapeutic support.
