Approaches for Online Healing and Relationship Work
Cheryl Martin uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the person’s own goals and insights drive the pace of change - it is useful for building self-esteem, processing life transitions, and strengthening coping skills.CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and for developing concrete strategies to face daily challenges. EFT concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns in relationships, helping partners or family members understand and change interaction cycles that contribute to conflict and disconnection.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cheryl works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. She and other licensed professionals can offer flexible session formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from home, and continue work even when life feels unpredictable.
