Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care

Elizabeth Martinez draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially practical in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing new, more workable responses. It is often used to support concerns like stress, anxiety, and depression by building skills that can be applied in everyday situations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Rather than getting stuck in an internal struggle, clients practice making room for what shows up while taking steps toward the life they want, which can be helpful when coping with trauma and major life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy adds practical strategies for grounding and present-moment awareness, supporting emotional balance and helping clients respond with intention instead of reacting on autopilot.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then tailors the approach accordingly.

Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can connect with Elizabeth through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that fits real-life schedules and comfort levels.
