Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Dr. Martz frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult internal experiences, and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - an approach useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy is another core element, offering attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Martz works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and to adapt techniques so they fit the client’s life and priorities. Licensed professionals will guide this exploration and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow continuity of care from different locations, and make it easier to integrate therapeutic tools into daily routines while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
