Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Martha uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's concerns, listening carefully and following the client's priorities. This approach supports people who need someone to hear their experience and clarify what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and stress. CBT is helpful for setting small, practical changes that can alter day-to-day functioning.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, and then try approaches that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.
