How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the person’s pace and priorities while offering reflective feedback and encouragement.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and personal responsibility in life. In virtual meetings this can help people sort through big questions about direction, values, and change, and figure out steps that match what matters to them.
Motivational Interviewing concentrates on building a person’s own motivation to change. Through video or messaging, Martia helps people identify ambivalence, strengthen commitment, and move toward small, achievable goals.
She treats finding the right approach as a joint process. Martia will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change over time as progress or new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls for a full session face-to-face, phone sessions when bandwidth or a quieter setting is needed, and live chat or text for brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on steady progress.
