Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work
Dr. Martz uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing structured exercises and practical tools for anxiety, depression, and sleep concerns. He also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values, practice acceptance of difficult experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. These approaches can be delivered in tailored ways to address addictions, workplace stress, relationship challenges, and self-esteem issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with each client to weigh which methods best match their goals, preferences, and current challenges, and then adapt interventions over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or to access care from home. These formats allow for ongoing skills practice, quick check-ins between sessions, and the option to use different channels as needs change, supporting steady progress while accommodating everyday life.
