About Martina Cisneros

As a licensed therapist in California and Texas, I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating affirming, culturally responsive spaces for diverse clients, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, grief and loss.

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals navigating challenging life transitions, identity exploration, and personal growth. My approach honors each person’s unique experiences, with a particular focus on multicultural concerns, women’s issues, sexuality, and life transitions/challenges.

My therapeutic style emphasizes compassionate, collaborative healing. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop self-love, improve communication, overcome isolation, and rediscover personal purpose. Whether you’re struggling with workplace stress, relationship patterns, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

In my free time I enjoy gardening, baking/cooking, reading, dancing, snow skiing, singing, exploring new cultures, traveling, camping, kayaking, volunteering, crafting, writing and spending time with my family, friends and grandchildren.

“Martina has really made my first experience with therapy easy, she has made me feel at ease and welcomed to open up.”

“I like her a lot already, she asks about my current events in life and that’s what she usually opens with and I like that she supports me and congratulates me if I have any accomplishments. I was skeptical in the beginning in general about online therapy because I had preferred in person but honestly I feel really comfortable, more than I thought I would.”

“Martina is the best. She checks in on the regular and provides helpful assignments to complete and talk about. We talk about the topics of interest and she is easy to talk to and open up about the past. She really cares about her patients and has so much insightful knowledge. Highly recommend 5-star!”

“I’ve had a few sessions with Martina. She has a great balance of letting me talk but also asking clarifying questions and provides some suggestions for me to cope with what I’m going through. All in all I’ve been very glad to be paired with her through the platform.”

“She’s a very capable & experienced woman providing the best solutions to be happier in this life regardless of our particular circumstances!”

“Martina is amazing! I was so fortunate to be matched with her and having her through this journey has been a blessing in so many ways. She listens, she is very professional and also she challenges you to improve. I couldn’t be happier with every session we had. I highly recommend her.”
