Grief counselors and therapists in Lubbock, TX

With 30 years of professional experience as a counselor, I am committed to guiding individuals towards holistic well-being. Specializing in addressing a diverse range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma and abuse, as well as navigating the complexities of grief and loss, my therapeutic approach is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I specialize in supporting clients (Spanish & English) navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, and cultural or ethnic identity-related concerns. I am passionate about my profession. I enjoy teaching social work and providing social work services. I believe that social work is a calling and therefore, I am being called to serve.

I obtained a bachelor's in Social Work at Prairie View A & M University and a Masters in Social Work at the University of Houston. I am a native Houstonian, and bilingual (Spanish/English.)

With over 20 years of experience working in diverse settings, I support children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate challenges connected to the past, present, and future. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in Texas, I am passionate about the transformative power of therapy and growth that can happen when clients feel safe, supported, and understood. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they navigate difficult seasons, make meaningful changes, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling. With over nine years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, and relationship difficulties.

I’m Oscar Martinez, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. With over two decades of diverse experience across business, fitness, education, and therapy, I bring a unique, holistic approach to counseling that connects with people from all walks of life. I am a father of two beautiful daughters, and a husband to a wonder wife. I believe that every individual is capable of creating positive change, and that therapy should be a partnership, one where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.

I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a retired US Army Chaplain. I hold licensure in three states: Texas, South Carolina, and Florida. My extensive experience is in helping clients with various traumas, dissociation, and abuse using EMDR therapy. You will be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Tailoring our dialogue and treatment plan to your specific needs is paramount. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling, happier life takes courage. You will be supported in that process.

You've probably gotten good at holding it together for everyone else, even when things feel heavier than you're letting on. I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and the kind of stress that builds up quietly over time. I offer sessions in English and Spanish, so you can show up exactly as you are, in whichever language feels most like home. I'm not here to tell you how to live your life. I'm here to help you feel heard, make sense of what you're carrying, and feel less alone in it.

I approach each client with a curious, open mind, and zero judgment. I recognize that everyone has a unique worldview shaped by their experiences, and I honor and respect that perspective. My hope is to create a space grounded in trust and connection, where we can explore your life and goals. Through honest, open communication, we can build a deeper relationship with ourselves and others.

Life can shift unexpectedly-and when it does, the stress, trauma, or emotional pain can leave you feeling lost,

isolated, or overwhelmed. Whether you're healing from abuse, facing a major transition, navigating

relationship stress, or coping with anxiety or depression, therapy can offer a path toward clarity, peace, and

renewal. You're not alone.

If anxiety, trauma, grief, or constant stress have been weighing on you, therapy can be a place to breathe, feel understood, and start moving forward. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or carrying more than you can hold on your own. I work with adults who want relief, practical support, and a path toward healing. Together, we can address anxiety, depression, anger, burnout, and life’s harder moments with care that is tailored to you.
