How Martha works
Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring the work to each person. She uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to identify strengths and set achievable goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns when that fits the situation.
Marty pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment problems, and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity. She also supports people coping with control issues, impulsivity, isolation, and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while honoring a person’s pace.
She helps people build tools for managing anger, panic, or life transitions and for improving relationships and decision-making. People who want practical strategies, clear communication, and steady support may find her style helpful. The emphasis is on teamwork and real-world steps that fit a person's day-to-day life.

Online support options
Approaches that fit online therapy
Marty often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping a person find their own solutions, which suits emotional concerns and relationship or identity questions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood swings.She also uses motivational interviewing to support people through change. That approach helps clarify goals and increase motivation for steps like changing habits or coping differently. Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process; the therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match goals, preferences, and what feels manageable.
Online sessions can be held as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a good option for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work across different locations and schedules.
