Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Crystal Martin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and emotions are present. ACT emphasizes accepting internal experience while committing to behaviors that align with what matters most, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, a humanistic approach that centers the person’s perspective and fosters growth through empathy, active listening, and unconditional regard. This approach supports clients working through relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and the emotional aftermath of trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent element of her work, providing practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Crystal collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so therapy remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - allowing people to access licensed professionals from home, during breaks, or while managing busy schedules.
