About Aldemar

Aldemar Martinez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and works with a wide range of mood and behavioral issues. He also addresses attachment-related struggles and problems that come with co-morbidity or substance use.

He uses straightforward therapy methods that focus on what people can do between sessions.

Background and approach

Sessions often include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take small actions toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot thought and behavior patterns and try practical changes. Client-centered principles guide the pace and tone, with the person’s goals driving the work.

Aldemar emphasizes connection in the room. He helps people name how past relationships affect current feelings and choices. From there he supports concrete steps for improving communication, managing anger, and reducing shame and isolation.

He has particular familiarity with grief, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and addiction concerns, including drug and alcohol issues. He also addresses parenting stress, intimacy worries, jealousy, and dependent personality patterns in a practical way. People find the approach hands-on and collaborative.

Aldemar invites clients to test small changes, notice effects, and adjust the plan. The focus is on clearer daily functioning, better emotion regulation, and rebuilding satisfying relationships.

Online support

How relational approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. Online sessions can help people trace those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and notice how small changes affect their reactions to others.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports identifying personal values and taking committed actions even when emotions feel difficult. In teletherapy this often means setting small experiments between sessions and checking progress over video or text. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses straightforward exercises to test alternatives; CBT tasks are easy to assign and review in phone or messaging formats.

Aldemar approaches the choice of methods as a collaboration. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust if something doesn’t fit. The aim is to find what helps the client make steady changes rather than to apply a single method.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for emotional work and role practice. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, try brief exercises, and get support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and keep therapy aligned with daily life.
