How Marty’s approaches translate to online therapy
Marty uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead, listen closely, and focus on what feels most important in their life. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to talk about difficult emotions and relationship problems.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions to change feelings and behavior. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it gives clear strategies to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marty will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that match their needs. Decisions about pace and techniques are made collaboratively so the plan fits daily life and what a person hopes to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, paced conversations, and flexible check-ins around work or family schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice new skills between sessions.
