Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Martha Quattlebaum has been in practice 7 years and is licensed in North Carolina. Martha lists stress, Anxiety, relationship issues and parenting issues among 43 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Martha's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Martha works with
Martha lists 5 specialisms and 38 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Martha chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Martha's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
You may be the person everyone depends on while privately feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unlike yourself. Perhaps anxiety, depression, past experiences, relationship strain, burnout, or a major life transition has made it difficult to feel grounded and move forward- even when you appear to be holding everything together. You do not have to navigate this alone.
I’m Martha Quattlebaum, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I support adults who are feeling anxious, disconnected, emotionally stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe, compassionate space where you can be honest about what you are experiencing without fear of judgment.
Therapy with me is both supportive and practical. Together, we can explore the patterns contributing to your distress while developing tools for coping, emotional regulation, boundaries, communication, self-understanding, and resilience. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, DBT-informed skills, and trauma-informed care, tailoring our work to your goals and needs.
I have experience supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, mood concerns, grief, low self-esteem, emotional burnout, loneliness, people-pleasing, attachment wounds, relationship difficulties, and major changes involving family, career, identity, or personal direction. I also have experience working with active-duty service members, veterans, transitioning service members, spouses, and others affected by military life and transition.
My goal is not only to help you manage difficult emotions, but also to help you understand yourself more deeply, strengthen healthier patterns, and reconnect with the life you want to create. If you are tired of carrying everything alone or repeating patterns that no longer serve you, I invite you to begin with one small step. We can work together toward greater clarity, confidence, emotional balance, and resilience.

03 · What happens next
Martha practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Martha's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Martha at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Martha is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Martha.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Martha actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Martha's - Martha has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
05 · Practical details
06 · Provenance
Martha's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Martha. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
