About Marty
Dr. Marty Sapp welcomes men and others seeking clearer direction during stressful or confusing times. He offers straightforward support for problems like anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship struggles, and concerns tied to work or self-worth. He uses plain talk and practical steps to help people move forward.
Dr. Sapp is a Wisconsin psychologist with more than 35 years of experience. He draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person's goals and on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. He also uses hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices when they seem useful.
Sessions are aimed at identifying the immediate problems and creating concrete steps to address them. People who are dealing with trauma, prejudice, midlife questions, or issues around sexuality and non-monogamy may find this approach useful. He also works with concerns such as process addictions, infidelity, and aging-related stress.
The work tends to be action-oriented. Dr. Sapp helps clients set clear goals, try small changes, and track progress between sessions. He frames counseling as support plus problem solving rather than a long, open-ended process.
He asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Sessions are arranged according to his availability and may vary in frequency and length based on individual needs.
How these approaches are used in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals and values. It aims to make sessions feel respectful and collaborative while guiding practical next steps. This approach helps with general life stress, relationship decisions, and building self-worth.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and work-related stress.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what seems most helpful and adjust the plan based on a client's needs and preferences. That means trying different techniques and checking in about what is working.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when short support is needed. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions fit into everyday life and goals.
