Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Martha draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional needs - this approach is helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and recurring interpersonal problems. She also uses client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth - this method suits people seeking a supportive space to clarify values, build self-esteem, or work through life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key tool, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors often linked to anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Martha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant.
Online therapy enables these approaches to be delivered by licensed professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, make ongoing support more accessible across distances, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
