Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Martha integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting environment where the client’s experience guides the work; it is useful for building self-awareness and trust in the therapeutic relationship. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors and is often used for mood or anxiety-related concerns and for developing practical coping strategies. DBT offers skills for regulating emotions, managing distress, and improving relationships, and it can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship challenges feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Martha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines elements from different approaches as appropriate so that the plan responds to the client rather than a single technique dictating the work.
Online therapy with Martha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and engage in therapy from locations that are convenient for the client while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
