About Ronika
Ronika Martin helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to start. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that can be used day to day. Ronika writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
She trained and practised across schools, community organisations, prisons and non-government organisations. That work included group therapy, supporting people experiencing homelessness and working in drug treatment units.
How Ronika works
She also has independent practice experience helping people with addiction, relationship conflict and trauma-related distress. Ronika supports people managing anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem and difficulties with motivation. She explains how past coping strategies may still shape present behaviour and helps people try different responses that fit their goals.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s priorities and day-to-day life. Her clinical approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based ideas and client-centred practice. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, make values-based choices and build new habits that reduce distress.
Ronika has seven years of experience and holds ACA credentialing. She offers sessions in English and Hindi to people located in Australia. The first steps are straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support options
How Ronika’s approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, addiction and making changes that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change behaviour and mood. It often suits people who want clear steps and homework between sessions. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people develop different ways of relating and coping with stress.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that can be adjusted over time. Sessions often blend elements from different approaches so the work fits each person’s situation and pace.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their day. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, parenting or study commitments.
