About Marta
Marta Taveras is an LCSW with seven years of clinical experience based in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around self-esteem. Marta speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first step toward change feel less overwhelming.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings are welcomed. Sessions center on practical steps and clear goals so people leave with tools they can use that week.
Background and approach
Marta pays attention to daily routines like sleep and relationships because small changes often matter most. Marta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck or unsure where to begin.
These approaches are applied to a wide range of concerns, including ADHD-related struggles, relationship challenges, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and substance use issues. Conversations are straightforward and collaborative. Marta helps clients break problems into manageable parts and practice new skills between sessions.
She will also work with clients to set realistic goals and track progress over time. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. To get started, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to therapist availability.
How Marta’s Approaches Work Online
Marta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying simple experiments to see if different behaviors change outcomes. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and ADHD-related routines.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. This method involves asking open questions, reflecting concerns, and helping someone find their own reasons to try new steps. It pairs well with goal-setting and can be useful for substance use, motivation, and life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Marta talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and together they decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or share quick updates. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
