Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Nicole Martin

Nicole Martin uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, collaborative space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening - this approach is helpful for building trust, self-awareness, and emotional processing.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns - CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. Additionally, Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are ambivalent about change by strengthening intrinsic motivation and commitment to goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Nicole offers flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care while tailoring communication styles to what works best for each person.
