About Martine

Dr. Martine Rose Wallenberg uses a client-centered approach to guide people through family and relationship concerns. She is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, LMHC, and brings 16 years of experience.

Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps people can try between sessions. She aims to make conversations feel calm and nonjudgmental so clients can speak honestly about what matters to them. She focuses on relationship, family, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, and coaching.

Background and approach

She also addresses blended family challenges, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and communication problems. Her work includes attention to multicultural concerns, immigration issues, and financial or life-purpose worries. In-session she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation and the Gottman Method for relationship communication skills. These tools are chosen to fit each person’s situation, not applied the same way for everyone. Her practice is practical and goal-oriented.

Sessions often involve talking through current problems, setting small goals, and practicing techniques for better communication and coping. Dr. Wallenberg supports people as they test changes and notice what helps in daily life.

She works with clients from Florida and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and relationship work

Dr. Wallenberg commonly draws from client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a trusting space so people can talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking that cause stress and teaches specific skills to change those patterns. The Gottman Method offers concrete communication and relationship techniques aimed at improving how partners talk and handle conflict.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, everyday challenges, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping sessions practical and focused on real-life problems.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
