Martha Higgins, LCSW

Martha Higgins is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She centers her work on building self-understanding, stronger relationships, and practical coping tools. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative, aimed at making therapy feel manageable for busy lives.

Martha draws on methods that help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She often works on self-esteem, communication problems, and life transitions. Those struggling with grief, trauma, workplace stress, or compassion fatigue will find strategies for day-to-day relief and longer-term change.

She pays particular attention to attachment concerns and issues that stem from family of origin or abandonment. Martha also supports people dealing with impulsivity, guilt, shame, and codependency. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps people can take between meetings to practice new skills.

With 14 years of clinical experience in Oklahoma, she brings practical tools and steady support rather than quick fixes. Martha helps clients identify strengths and build routines that reduce overwhelm and improve relationships. Her approach balances direct skill-building with attention to emotions and personal meaning.

Martha describes therapy as a team effort. She works with each person to set clear goals and tracks progress along the way. The aim is sustainable change that fits daily life, not one-size-fits-all solutions.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simple to continue work during life transitions or when workplace demands vary. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively across a range of everyday situations, and Martha aims to tailor practical tools to each person's routine.
