About Martine
She draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and the Gottman Method. Sessions often include straightforward talk, practical strategies, and moment-to-moment checking in on what is or isn't working. Conversations can cover communication, commitment concerns, and coping with separation or blended family shifts.
Her background includes dealing with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, immigration challenges, and financial strain. She pays attention to how culture and background shape choices and relationships. Sessions can address infidelity, divorce, control issues, and adapting after disasters.
In practical terms she helps people break down big problems into manageable steps. That can mean practicing communication moves, testing new routines, or using CBT techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts. DBT tools are used when emotion regulation or intense reactions interfere with daily life.
She invites clients to define what matters next and works alongside them to try options that fit their life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online gateway.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can better understand their own goals and choices. It helps when someone is sorting out values, relationships, or what matters next in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for tackling worry, motivation problems, and decision-making blocks.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for handling big emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those tools can help when strong feelings or conflict get in the way of daily life and relationships.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. This means sessions may include skill practice, communication exercises, or reflective conversation depending on needs.
