Martha Kuhn , LPC

Martha Kuhn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. She works with adults facing depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. Martha brings 18 years of counseling experience to her practice in Arkansas and offers a respectful, down-to-earth approach.

Martha's style is warm and interactive. Sessions are conversational and tailored to each person's situation. She avoids stigmatizing labels and emphasizes understanding each person’s story before making a plan.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective. She also uses practical cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. When appropriate, she integrates dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

Martha has supported people after physical trauma and emotional abuse, and she helps those coping with caregiver stress, addiction, and major life transitions. She also assists clients addressing family of origin issues, codependency, and communication problems.

Outside of direct counseling work, Martha is coauthoring a book about brain health and is pursuing a coaching credential to expand her practice. She encourages people who are ready for change to take the first step and will work with them to set realistic, achievable goals.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and values the client's perspective above all. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify goals so sessions follow their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to find and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills, which can help with intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals are met or new challenges arise, and she adjusts the plan as the client’s situation evolves.

Online therapy lets people connect from different places using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for counseling that benefits from face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work during life transitions.
