About Martina
Martina Jensen is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She brings three years of clinical experience and personal insight as a neurodivergent clinician. Her work focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, self-esteem issues, and ADHD-related challenges.
She aims to make therapy fit the way each person thinks and lives. Sessions emphasize clear strategies and small, doable changes rather than long abstract talks.
Background and approach
Martina listens for how daily routines, sensory needs, and communication styles affect wellbeing, then tailors suggestions around those realities. Many clients seek help when they feel burned out, misunderstood, or exhausted from masking. Martina supports people working through anxiety, depression, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and communication problems.
She also helps those navigating young adult transitions and questions about identity. Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, adapted to individual needs. Martina helps people recognize patterns, build on strengths, and put practical plans into action.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s goals. Therapy with Martina is available in English through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She practices in Minnesota and holds an MN LICSW credential.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Martina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them for each person. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. These methods help with worry, low mood, and organizing daily routines.Acceptance-based strategies teach practical ways to live with difficult feelings rather than fighting them, which can reduce avoidance and increase activity. Trauma-informed practices emphasize safety and choice, helping people pace work on painful memories or reactions.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Martina works with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, energy, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts techniques over time so therapy stays useful and manageable.
Online formats offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and screen sharing for worksheets or plans. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief, on-the-go exchanges and quick problem-solving between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied daily routines.
