Background and approach
Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on small, usable steps. Marta works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and codependency. She also addresses isolation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and problems with communication.
First responder stress and coping after natural or human-caused disasters are additional areas she addresses. Her short-term goals often include building coping strategies, reducing anxiety symptoms, and improving everyday functioning. Longer-term work can explore life purpose, forgiveness, and rebuilding relationships with oneself and others.
Marta blends active skill-building with empathic listening. With four years of clinical experience, Marta draws on practices that are supported by research while tailoring sessions to each person. She speaks English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Many evidence-based techniques focus on teaching clear skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood. One common approach emphasizes learning coping strategies and gradual exposure to feared situations so anxiety becomes easier to manage. This approach helps when worries interfere with daily routines or school and work tasks.Another approach centers on improving self-esteem and repairing patterns linked to attachment and abandonment. It uses guided conversations and practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and strengthen safer ways of relating to others. That kind of work can help with loneliness, shame, and rebuilding a sense of purpose.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Marta will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they’ll try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust plans as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice and feedback. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, homework planning, and ongoing skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working consistently toward change.
