Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Janet Martinez

Janet Martinez integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where clients are heard and guided to find their own solutions - it is well suited to relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. DBT teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, anger management, and relational conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janet collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so therapy aligns with what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy with Janet is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for expressing concerns and practicing new skills with a licensed professional.
