About Martin

Dr. Martin Kaufmann is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado who focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career transitions, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

He brings six years of clinical experience and integrates evidence-based methods to help clients address motivation, confidence, and executive or professional coaching needs. His work also extends to issues like abandonment, midlife transitions, codependency, impulse control, isolation, and questions of life purpose.

Dr. Kaufmann emphasizes creating an atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly and without judgment.

He draws on Internal Family Systems alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices to tailor interventions to each person’s situation. Clients can expect a collaborative process aimed at clarifying goals, building skills, and developing sustainable coping strategies.

His practice accommodates different communication preferences through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, with subscription-based scheduling that can be adjusted given location and availability.

Approaches for online healing and practical change



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as composed of different parts that hold feelings, beliefs, and roles; therapy involves gently understanding and communicating with those parts to reduce internal conflict and heal burdens that relate to trauma, shame, or self-criticism. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior by teaching practical skills to reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop more effective coping strategies for mood and stress regulation.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to identify which approaches or combination of methods best match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and will adjust methods over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from home or work. These formats can support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and varied ways to communicate so therapy remains accessible and responsive to each person's routine and preferences.
