She holds LISW-CP and LCSW-C credentials and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work in South Carolina.

Her approach is straightforward and flexible. Martrell focuses on helping people sort through emotions, learn coping tools, and rebuild routines after loss or change. She pays attention to what a person needs right now and works at a comfortable pace.

Many people seek her help for anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, anger, intimacy concerns, self-esteem problems, and career stress. Hospice and end-of-life counseling is an additional focus she can address when relevant.

Sessions center on clear conversation and practical strategies. Martrell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. She aims to make each session feel focused and useful rather than overwhelming.

When someone is ready to start, Martrell guides them through concrete next steps. She asks about immediate needs, personal strengths, and daily routines. From there she and the client set goals and track small changes that add up over time.

Approaches that guide online grief and stress work

Martrell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on learning coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines; this helps when worry or low mood make it hard to get things done. Another approach centers on processing loss and grief by creating space to tell the story, remember what matters, and find ways to carry on meaningful routines during change.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Martrell discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together she and the client try techniques and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s needs and pace.

If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people maintain continuity of care during transitions or while managing health or caregiving demands.
