How Martine works
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding the drive to change a habit or reach a goal. Martine has a background in hospice and palliative care from her graduate field placements. That time gave her hands-on experience supporting people facing end-of-life issues and offering bereavement and grief counseling to loved ones.
She also has training in gerontology and has worked with older adults in adult day programs. There she planned activities aimed at engagement, including for people in early stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Martine has worked as a service coordinator and developed a network of local resources to share with clients.
In addition to her independent practice, Martine co-facilitates a bereavement support group and takes part in community advocacy. Her work focuses on helping people manage life changes, chronic illness and caregiving strain, guilt and shame, gender and sexuality concerns, and multicultural challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps set goals, and follows the client's pace to build trust and direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions are linked. Martine uses CBT to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
EMDR is offered for people processing traumatic memories. It combines guided attention with talk-based processing to reduce the emotional charge of past events and support healing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Martine collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust strategies as goals evolve and check in regularly about what helps.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work visually and handle deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections, or when written communication feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, medical demands, and other life responsibilities.
