Approaches, Collaboration, and Online Care with Marta Taveras

Marta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, often useful for addressing anxiety, stress, low mood, and problems with motivation.

She also employs Motivational Interviewing, a conversational style that supports people in resolving ambivalence and finding personal motivation for change. This approach is especially helpful when clients are working through goals related to behavior change or increasing commitment to treatment.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Marta partners with each person to explore what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy aligns with the client’s values and circumstances.

Online therapy with Marta is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from a licensed professional without the need to travel, allowing clients to focus on progress in a format that works for them.
