About Martha
Martha Higgins is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 14 years of experience based in Oklahoma. She works with adults on relationship issues, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, and life changes. Martha also addresses family-related patterns including family of origin issues and attachment concerns.
She uses practical talk and goal-focused work to help people recognize patterns that started in childhood. Sessions often focus on how early family roles and expectations still influence current behavior. Martha helps clients name those patterns and try different ways of reacting in daily life.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment practices to clarify values and next steps. Attachment-based work is used to look at connection styles formed in early relationships. Dialectical behavior strategies help with emotion regulation and impulsivity when those are barriers.
Martha has experience supporting people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and workplace pressures. She also helps people address codependency, communication problems, commitment worries, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Sessions include practical strategies, skill-building, and real-time problem solving.
People who choose Martha can expect straightforward conversation about what’s getting in the way and specific tools to try between sessions. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site’s online matching steps to schedule an initial appointment and set goals.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Martha draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can help when someone feels stuck by worry or indecision and wants clearer direction.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine connection patterns that began in early family relationships. This work looks at how those patterns affect current relationships and communication, and it can help people try new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will talk with each person about goals and daily life, and together they decide which methods to use. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs and priorities shift.
