Hi I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina. I am also a National Certified Counselor and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I have been a mental health clinician for 27 years. I received my Masters of Social Work and a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling from East Carolina University. I also earned a PhD in social work from the University of South Carolina. I am currently teaching as an adjunct faculty member at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP). I taught social work as an associate professor and program director for 15 years before retiring from UNCP. I returned to teach as an adjunct faculty member at UNCP in 2012 where I remain.
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression. I also conduct couples counseling for those who are experiencing marital or partner issues. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing in working with individuals and couples. But most of all I use just plain common sense in relating to people. I believe in assigning homework to my clients between sessions as it gives them the opportunity to continue to work on their issues before we meet again.
I look forward to working with you in helping you become the person you want to be!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Ronnie Martin. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Martin does a great job of listening and offering practical approaches to address issues.
