Therapeutic tools that translate well to online sessions
Martinie Franks draws from approaches that can be practical and easy to use in everyday life. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support emotional balance, distress tolerance, and healthier communication during difficult moments. Mindfulness-based strategies may be used to build awareness of thoughts and feelings without getting pulled off course, helping clients stay grounded when life feels overwhelming or uncertain.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Martinie works collaboratively with clients to understand what is bringing them to therapy, what they want to change, and what has or has not worked before. Together, they can shape sessions around the client’s goals, preferences, and pace.
Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a format that fits real life. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options like live chat or text-based messaging to stay connected and keep momentum between appointments.
