Online support

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people get clear on their values and take small, meaningful actions toward them. It is useful when someone feels stuck, unsure of priorities, or overwhelmed by difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and problems that repeat over time. Client-centered work keeps the persons perspective central, with the therapist following the clients lead and supporting their goals without judgment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Martha will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than picking one way at the start. That means trying things, checking in on what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for a face-to-face conversation. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text messaging let someone check in between sessions or hold shorter check-ins during a busy week. These options make it easier to fit regular work on goals into a daily routine while still getting consistent support from a licensed professional.
