Approaches That Guide Online Therapy and Support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. It helps people explore attachment styles, intimacy concerns, abandonment issues, and recurring relational patterns to promote more secure and satisfying relationships.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, offering empathic listening and non-directive support so clients can clarify values, build self-esteem, and develop greater self-understanding. This approach is often helpful for those working on confidence, identity, and life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented method that examines how thoughts and behaviors interact. It supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping challenges by teaching skills to reframe thinking and try alternative behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Martin helps clients identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts the work as therapy progresses to make sure it remains relevant and helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and connect with licensed professionals from different locations.
