About Rita

Dr. Rita Martin is a licensed professional counselor with a decade of clinical work behind her. She blends practical goal-setting with a warm, team-based approach so clients feel guided, not judged.

Her style centers on building trust and helping people gain self-awareness and self-acceptance. She helps people sort out stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and problems with sleep and anger. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship and family strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear steps toward change rather than vague promises. Her training includes a Master of Arts in Student Personnel Services, Counseling and a Doctor of Behavioral Health. That background shapes a thoughtful, evidence-minded way of working.

She uses tools from several approaches to match what each person needs. In sessions she guides clients to notice patterns that get in the way, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and try new behaviors. She emphasizes self-awareness and stopping self-sabotage through steady, practical work.

Progress is tracked with concrete goals and regular check-ins. People who choose her often want straightforward help with day-to-day functioning and emotional balance. She presents options clearly and invites clients to shape the work.

The focus is on usable skills and real-life changes, not on labels or jargon.

How EFT, CBT, and Hypnotherapy Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotional patterns that keep them stuck. In online sessions the therapist guides clients to feel and describe those emotions, then use that awareness to try new responses. EFT can be helpful for deep emotional work like grief, trauma responses, and relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and habits that worsen mood or anxiety. Online CBT uses short exercises, thought records, and homework to test new behaviors and reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. It works well when clients want clear skills to practice between sessions.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people change habits, manage pain, or reduce anxiety. In virtual sessions the clinician offers verbal exercises and imagery that clients can use at home to support behavior change and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and personalized.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and family life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
