Remote Care and Therapeutic Approach
Dr. Martin offers remote sessions that emphasize collaborative planning and practical skills. In remote work she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and to develop concrete, structured strategies for change. Cognitive work is paired with mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness and support regulation of emotions.
She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship dynamics and attachment themes are central, using structured conversations to explore and reshape emotional responses between partners or within family systems. Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with the therapist and client working together to set goals and choose interventions from CBT, EFT, or mindfulness-based practices.
Remote formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to select the mode that best fits their needs and schedule while maintaining continuity of care across different communication options.
