Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms, making it helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, supporting clients to explore their experiences at their own pace and build on existing strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sherry Martinez works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work evolves.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that work, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from therapists without travel constraints.
