Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Kathleen Martello draws from several structured, practical approaches that can work well in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and learning new ways to respond, which can be especially useful when dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, or self-esteem concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build psychological flexibility by making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, often supporting people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by past experiences. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be helpful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel strained.Finding the right fit is part of the process. Kathleen works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then adjusts the approach accordingly so sessions feel relevant and workable.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging when that format feels more accessible. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent, fit support into a busy schedule, and continue building momentum between sessions.
