About Andrea
Andrea Martinez, LCSW, holds a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and has four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD, and speaks English and Spanish.
Andrea uses practical, body-centered tools to help people manage intense feelings and everyday stress. She emphasizes grounding skills and resilience-building exercises. Sessions aim to leave clients with concrete techniques they can use between meetings.
Her background includes work in county mental health settings supporting young people from school age through late adolescence. That experience informed her emphasis on short, teachable skills and clear safety planning when emotions become overwhelming.
The Community Resiliency Model is a central part of her approach. This model focuses on noticing body sensations and using simple grounding exercises to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Andrea integrates those methods with conversations about daily life and relationships.
She offers a collaborative, strengths-oriented style that helps people identify what already works for them. Therapy sessions typically include practice of new skills, review of how those skills fit daily routines, and planning for small steps forward. Andrea works in both English and Spanish and sees clients in California.
