Background and approach
Sessions often include ways to manage strong feelings, break unhelpful habits, and handle day-to-day problems so things feel more manageable. Prof. Martinez uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try small changes.
She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps when a clear plan or renewed motivation is helpful. These approaches are used to address concerns such as trauma, sleep problems, parenting strain, and coping with loss. Her background includes long-term clinical work in Florida and work with a wide range of concerns, including bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and substance use.
She emphasizes a collaborative process where the person’s goals guide the plan. Starting therapy with her begins with a short conversation to identify goals and match on a plan. From there she helps people track progress and adjust techniques so therapy stays useful and relevant.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, with the clinician offering empathy and reflective listening to help people make sense of their choices and feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to test new ways of reacting and coping. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to try new strategies and change course when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video allows fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity during transitions.
