How Marta’s approaches translate to online work

Marta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore a person's reasons for change and to build motivation. This approach is useful for people wrestling with substance use, lifestyle shifts, or simply wanting clearer goals and stronger commitment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marta works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in as progress continues and adjusts the plan to match what’s working.

Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit around work and family schedules, cut down on travel time, and make shorter check-ins possible when that suits a busy day. Online sessions can also make it easier to keep continuity during life changes, but be sure to verify the exact session types offered when you schedule.
