Background and approach

04Online support
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Dr. Martin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and trouble sleeping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce stress and improve focus and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the situation. That collaborative process makes adjustments as progress is seen or obstacles appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper dialogue. Phone sessions use less data and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging let clients send short updates, check in between meetings, or use written reflection when that feels easier.
