About Martha

Martha Kilgore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life transitions and emotional challenges. She has worked with people facing grief and loss, relationship and family conflict, trauma and abuse, addictions, depression, self-esteem concerns, career issues, and compassion fatigue. Martha emphasizes the strengths each person brings to their story and partners with clients to build on those resources as they navigate change.

Her practice also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and co-morbid conditions. Martha draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs, helping clients develop practical skills, clarify values, and improve interpersonal connections.

She frames the work as a collaborative process that often begins with a single courageous step toward a more satisfying life. Martha offers steady support and practical guidance as clients explore goals, cope with losses, and work to restore balance and meaning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for clients facing grief, depression, or chronic stress who want to build a life guided by what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client s perspective leads the work; this approach supports self-esteem, relationship concerns, and interpersonal healing by emphasizing empathy and acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, addictions, and developing coping skills.

Martha approaches treatment collaboratively, and finding the right therapeutic method is part of the process. She works with each person to determine which combination of approaches best fits their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular contact, integrate therapy into a busy life, and continue work between sessions, while still receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
