Therapeutic approaches online with Martha "Marty" Mauppin

Martha "Marty" Mauppin draws on evidence-based approaches that translate well to online formats. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people explore feelings and priorities and build self-directed solutions; it is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life adjustments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation and often includes goal-oriented exercises and skill building.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that supports people who are ambivalent about change. It can be especially helpful for substance use, behavioral shifts, and commitment-related concerns by strengthening personal motivation and readiness to act.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mauppin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time as progress evolves.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how people connect - by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage mobility or transportation limits, and maintain continuity during life transitions.
