Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Martha directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Many clients find Narrative Therapy useful for organizing their life story into manageable parts and spotting patterns they want to change. In an online session this often looks like telling your story, noticing recurring themes, and deciding which parts you want to edit or emphasize.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people name their goals so decisions come from their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping with anxiety or low mood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick or combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the plan stays relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging for flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and do deeper conversation, phone may be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging can make brief check-ins easier, and messaging supports ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
