How Martha’s Approaches Shape Online Work
Martha uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s experience and goals. This approach means sessions are guided by what the client wants to focus on, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back to help clarify feelings and choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people break down unhelpful thought patterns and try practical changes to their routines and reactions, which can reduce stress and anxiety over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Martha will collaborate with each client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week.
