About Kenneth
Dr. Kenneth (Ken) Martz helps people tackle everyday struggles that get in the way of family life and parenting. He supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, sleep problems, anger, and the strains that come with life changes.
Dr. Martz is based in Pennsylvania and brings 25 years of practice to each session. He uses clear, focused conversations to find practical next steps.
Sessions often include cognitive strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness exercises to calm the body and mind.
Background and approach
He also draws on solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and measure progress. Ken describes much of his work as coaching in addition to clinical care, especially when clients want help with career pressures, workplace issues, or setting personal goals. He has experience in clinical supervision and leadership, which informs his approach to executive coaching and organizational concerns.
Many clients benefit from talking through communication problems, grief, intimacy issues, and parenting stresses. He pays attention to how negative self-talk and guilt can keep people stuck, and he offers tools to shift those patterns one step at a time. Sessions may combine breathing and meditation practices with practical problem solving.
Dr. Martz holds the credential PA Psychologist PS017266, and he works in English. He does not take international clients.

How his approaches work online and what to expect
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, parenting stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often with concrete exercises to try between sessions. That approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Decisions are collaborative, and techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial expressions and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, and flexible check-ins between longer sessions.
