About Martin
LMFT Martin Olivares is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and depression. He conducts sessions in English and practices in California.
Martin helps people talk through intense feelings and difficult situations. He listens for patterns in communication, control, guilt, and shame that keep problems active. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation and practical steps you can try between meetings.
He aims to make it easier to name what is happening and to find clearer ways of relating to others. When trauma or post-traumatic stress is part of the problem, he attends to strong emotional reactions and safety in the room. Relationship concerns include trouble with closeness, trust, and ongoing conflict.
Martin draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on symptoms and behaviors. He explains options in plain language and works with each person to choose approaches that fit their situation. The focus is on skills people can use in daily life to reduce distress and improve communication.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful communication and behavior patterns, which helps with relationship strain and recurring conflicts. Another approach targets post-traumatic reactions by helping people process strong emotions and reduce their impact on daily life.Finding the right method is part of the work. He discusses different options with each person and chooses approaches based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. The decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
