Teresa Blenggio Martinez
Hi, I’m Teresa (she/her/ella), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I offer virtual therapy sessions Monday through Thursday, with appointments available between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. If you’re feeling stuck, struggling with motivation, or wanting to make healthier choices, therapy can be a space to explore what may be getting in the way. Together, we can work on setting achievable goals, building motivation, understanding emotional barriers, and developing realistic strategies that fit into your everyday life.
My approach to therapy is supportive and often sprinkled with humor.
Whether you’re hoping to become more consistent with exercise, make healthier food choices, improve your relationship with yourself, or simply feel more energized and confident, I can support you through the emotional and behavioral side of that process. As a talk therapist, I won’t tell you what to eat or how to exercise, but I’ll help you understand your patterns, strengthen your motivation, and create sustainable changes that align with the life you want to live. My goal is to help you build on your strengths, gain new insights, and feel empowered to take steps toward a healthier, more balanced life. Together, let’s find a path toward a healthier tomorrow; one small step at a time.
First session
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, talk about what’s bringing you in, and see if working together feels like a good fit.
Strengths
I’m interested in not just what’s been hard, but also the strength, creativity, and resilience you’ve drawn on along the way. I care about how life’s challenges have shaped you, while also making space for what’s helped you keep going and what you want for yourself moving forward.
Ideal clients
I work best with clients who are ready to make meaningful changes and want practical tools to help them create a life that feels more intentional and fulfilling. Maybe you have been feeling stuck or out of sync with the life you want, but you are open to looking at things differently and taking steps toward something that feels different.
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
Strength-based therapy focuses on a person’s strengths, abilities, and positive qualities rather than only focusing on their problems. It helps individuals recognize the resources they already have and use them to manage challenges and reach their goals. The approach emphasizes growth, confidence, and building on existing strengths.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented, short-term form of psychotherapy that focuses on building solutions for the future rather than analyzing past problems.
