Background and approach
That path shaped her respect for each person’s story and informed a flexible approach to care. In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative ideas to help people clarify goals and change unhelpful patterns.
Sessions are conversational and interactive, with goals set together. Martha has long worked with people facing trauma, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. She has particular experience addressing ADHD in adults and teenagers and follows current research and resources to stay informed about the condition.
Her work also includes support around LGBT concerns, family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and coping with life transitions. Martha emphasizes practical tools that fit daily life and helps people build realistic steps toward their goals. People can expect a straightforward, compassionate counselor who writes goals with clients and focuses on progress that matters to them.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's goals and perspective. The therapist listens carefully and reflects what matters to the person, helping them choose the next steps and set meaningful goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It offers concrete tools and experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Simple practices and short exercises are introduced to help with stress, emotional regulation, and staying present during busy days.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Martha collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders or short reflections. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or family routines while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
