About Marta
Marta Taveras is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with seven years of experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. Marta speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters to them. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical.
Background and approach
Marta uses clear goals so progress is easy to notice and discuss. Marta often uses problem-solving and thought-focused strategies to help people change patterns that cause distress. She also draws on a motivational style to increase readiness for change and support follow-through.
This combination is used with concerns such as family conflict, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and life transitions. Her work includes support for challenges like ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, sleep problems, substance and alcohol issues, and grief around separation or divorce. Marta also addresses more specific worries such as infidelity, jealousy, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness or guilt.
Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish and are aimed at people who want straightforward skills and real-world strategies. Marta helps clients set clear next steps and keeps the focus on practical change. If someone is looking for a direct, compassionate approach to everyday problems, she can be a steady partner in that work.

How Marta’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life. It focuses on small, practical changes in thinking and behavior to reduce stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, and mood symptoms.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost a person’s own drive to change. It uses questions and gentle reflection to clarify goals and build motivation for things like substance use changes, parenting adjustments, or following through on treatment plans.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Marta will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend whether CBT, motivational interviewing, or a mix fits best. The plan can be adjusted over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video suits hands-on skill practice and face-to-face conversation. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging let people send shorter updates or work between appointments. These options aim to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
