About Marty
Dr. Marty Sapp is a psychologist in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and related struggles. He brings decades of experience and a practical, action-oriented style to sessions.
He aims to make therapy feel useful and worth the effort for people seeking change. He uses straightforward problem solving and goal setting in sessions. That often means identifying patterns that keep anxiety or low mood active and practicing different ways of responding.
Background and approach
He blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to give concrete tools for daily life. Dr. Sapp also incorporates hypnotherapy when it fits a person’s needs and preferences.
That can be a way to access calm states and reinforce new habits between sessions. He describes counseling as support plus action, so sessions typically move from understanding to doing. With 35 years of experience and the credential WI Psychologist 1404-57, he draws on long practice and teaching in counseling psychology.
People can expect a therapist who uses both discussion and exercises to address problems like trauma, depression, relationship strain, grief, anger, and self-esteem issues. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps align goals and timing so work can begin promptly.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Dr. Sapp commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood active and then trying different responses. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.He may also use hypnotherapy when it fits a person’s goals; that approach guides the mind toward relaxed, focused states to support new habits and reduce stress. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face and practice skills in conversation. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is preferable. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or for fitting therapy into a busy day.
