About Martha
Martha Quattlebaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or major life changes. She works with people who feel emotionally stuck or like they are carrying too much. Her manner is warm, direct, and collaborative, and she focuses on practical steps that make a difference day to day.
In sessions she listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck. Then she helps people build coping skills for stress and emotional regulation.
Background and approach
Work often includes practicing boundaries, clearer communication, and ways to respond differently in difficult moments. Martha draws on several evidence-based techniques when they fit the person and the problem. She uses cognitive methods to shift unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness, and trauma-informed, skills-based tools for emotional control when needed.
She adapts the tools to match each person’s goals. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar mood concerns, grief, burnout, and relationship distress. She also has experience related to caregiving stress, chronic illness, addiction, and attachment wounds.
Martha practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. She aims to help people gain clearer self-understanding, steadier emotions, and practical strategies to move forward. To begin, she asks people to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time based on her availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Evidence-based cognitive approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns. They help people learn to notice automatic thoughts, test them, and try different responses to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Mindfulness-based interventions teach simple, practical attention exercises. These practices help people calm racing thoughts, increase awareness of emotional triggers, and build steadying routines for stress and overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel useful and realistic for daily life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care during life changes while tailoring techniques to what actually works for the person's routine.
