About Martha

Background and approach

She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship struggles. She also addresses issues such as low self-esteem, intimacy questions, career stress, and difficulty coping with life changes. Her style is practical and respectful.

Sessions aim to be nonjudgmental and calm. She often blends approaches to fit what a person needs that day rather than sticking to one method. Marty uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy when those fit the client’s goals. These methods are chosen to work on things like communication, impulsivity, and coping after loss. She practices in North Carolina and holds NC LCMHC 4714.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy process.

Approaches that guide online work

Marty commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practice different responses; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and reflecting what someone is saying so they can find their own solutions and build confidence.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people need help clarifying goals and finding internal reasons to change. That approach asks gentle, open questions and supports readiness rather than pushing a single plan. Together these approaches let sessions shift between problem-solving and deeper reflection based on what feels most useful.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt approaches that match goals, preferences, and the issue at hand. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and change methods as progress or needs shift.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like easier scheduling and steady access from home. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be less formal, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy family routines and make consistent care more manageable.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
