She also addresses matters such as parenting stress, intimacy and relationship concerns, substance-related issues, grief and life transitions, and questions of purpose.

Clients looking for flexible session options can work with her through multiple online formats. Marta emphasizes realistic goal-setting and practical steps, supporting people as they move toward more satisfying daily routines and relationships.

Approaches that translate well to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and managing daily routines by teaching practical skills and problem-solving strategies.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a client's own motivation for change through supportive conversation and goal-setting. This style can help when addressing issues like substance use, low motivation, life transitions, or ambivalence about change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, try techniques, and adjust methods based on progress and personal preference to arrive at the best fit for the individual's goals.

Online therapy with Marta is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports scheduling flexibility and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and they allow therapists and clients to use tools from CBT and Motivational Interviewing in practical, goal-focused ways.
