Dr. Martine Rose Wallenberg , LMHC

Dr. Martine Rose Wallenberg practices from a client-centered standpoint that puts the person first. She draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help people who are facing relationship and family stress. With 16 years as a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, she aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.

She commonly helps people work through intimacy concerns, communication problems, commitment doubts, and the strain that comes with divorce or blended families. She also supports people navigating caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and challenges related to autism and Asperger syndrome. Money worries, immigration-related stress, and life purpose questions are also within her focus areas.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens first, then helps clients try small, practical changes. Some sessions focus on skill building for emotion regulation and better communication. Others dig into values and life direction to help clarify next steps.

People looking for coaching-style support around motivation and confidence will find a straightforward approach. The Gottman Method tools are used when relationship patterns and trust need attention. Throughout, she encourages clear goals and regular check-ins on progress.

Her work is offered in English and she accepts international clients. Dr. Wallenberg combines steady clinical experience with a down-to-earth style meant to help people feel heard and move forward.

Therapy approaches and how they translate to online work

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals and perspective at the center of sessions. In practice that means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients choose the topics to address. This approach fits well with video or phone sessions where conversation and rapport are the focus.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. Online CBT often uses structured conversations, short exercises between sessions, and targeted skill practice to address relationship stress, anxiety about life changes, or money worries.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing emotions and improving communication. In teletherapy DBT skills can be taught through live demonstrations, role plays over video, and written practice sent by message for follow-up.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. That collaborative process helps clients see which tools feel useful and sustainable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and role play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited and for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow short, frequent contact and daily skill practice without a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue progress between meetings.
