How Marta Uses Practical Approaches in Online Care
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation at a pace that feels right. It focuses on listening, exploring ambivalence, and strengthening commitment to small steps forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, improve mood, or help with sleep and daily routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marta will discuss your goals and preferences and then recommend whether CBT, Motivational Interviewing, or a mix of both might suit your situation. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps you make progress.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, support between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines.
