Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Martinie Franks offers remote sessions that use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She combines structured and person-centered methods so the work is shaped by what the individual finds most useful. This flexibility allows for different rhythms and formats depending on preference and the issues being explored.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood and supports practical steps for change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness that can be applied in day to day situations. Mindfulness Therapy invites present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation to complement those skill-based approaches.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clarify goals and to build on strengths. The collaboration is oriented toward identifying workable changes and measuring progress together. Prospective remote clients should expect a cooperative planning process to determine which combination of approaches and which communication formats best fit their needs.
