Therapeutic approaches and online care

Martha "Marty" Mauppin integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online settings. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the person identify their own goals; it is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people examine and adjust the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges, offering practical strategies for symptom management and problem solving.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build commitment when facing difficult decisions or habits. Across approaches, Marty works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Marty includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, during work breaks, or while traveling, and they support consistent engagement in care when in-person sessions are not convenient.
