How Marta Uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing Online

Many of Marta's sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions and helps people try new coping strategies. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep troubles, and patterns that feed into relationship strain.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change and to build momentum when they feel stuck. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and setting small, workable goals that match a person's values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marta works with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is made.
