Background and approach
She also addresses areas like abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, codependency, and isolation. Martine brings a broad toolkit to problems that often overlap. Her clinical approach draws on somatic methods, client-centered principles, and cognitive behavioral ideas.
She also integrates dialectical behavior strategies and emotion-focused elements when helpful. The aim is to match techniques to a person’s needs rather than push a single method. Martine notes that faith-based counseling can be included on request.
She describes her role as supportive and non-judgmental, helping people move step by step toward clearer goals. Her practice emphasizes steady progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Somatic therapy pays attention to sensations in the body and helps people notice how stress or trauma shows up physically; it can be useful for anxiety, grief, and long-held tension. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are, helping someone feel understood while they name their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers concrete skills to change them.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Martine will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. Techniques can shift as progress is made so the work stays practical and personally relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to use tools between meetings. Many people find that a mix of synchronous and text-based support helps keep momentum between scheduled appointments.
