She works with people who are struggling to manage intense emotions or to rebuild trust after difficult events. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Martinez uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people identify patterns that keep problems going.

She also addresses concerns such as body image, substance use, and impulse-related problems.
Her approach emphasizes clear goals and practical steps. Conversations aim to make thoughts and reactions easier to recognize. Clients explore triggers, safety planning when relevant, and ways to rebuild trust after abuse or infidelity. Sessions may include skill practice between meetings to reinforce changes.
Carissa adapts sessions to each person's pace and needs. She pays attention to cultural and identity factors, including gender identity and sexual expression. She can talk about kink, BDSM, and alternative sex culture without judgment and will focus on communication, consent, and boundaries when those matters arise.

How evidence-based techniques are used in remote sessions
Carissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common thread is focusing on skills practice - learning ways to manage anxiety and stress through breathing, grounding, and thought-checking. That approach helps people notice unhelpful reactions and try different responses.Another area of focus is attachment and relationship work. Sessions look at patterns in how people relate to others, how abandonment fears appear, and how communication habits keep conflict going. The work often involves role-play or rehearsing new conversations to build safer interactions.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try techniques that fit the person’s preferences and needs. Adjustments happen as progress and challenges become clearer, so the plan evolves over time.
