Dr. Marty Sapp, WI Psychologist 1404-57

Dr. Marty Sapp welcomes people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, or questions tied to aging and later-life change. He introduces therapy as straightforward support and problem solving so people can take practical steps toward feeling better. He aims to make sessions useful and focused on what a person wants to accomplish.

Dr. Sapp is a Wisconsin psychologist (WI Psychologist 1404-57) with 35 years of experience. He worked for many years in counseling psychology and has taught at the university level. That background shapes a calm, practical style that blends conversation with clear strategies to try between sessions.

His work draws on client-centered ideas that put the person's priorities first, cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and behaviors, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness methods that build attention and calm. These offer tools people can use for stress, mood, trauma, and relationship concerns. He also addresses issues such as aging and geriatric concerns, infidelity, men's issues, multicultural dynamics, and process addictions.

Sessions tend to focus on problem solving and short-term gains when that fits the client's goals. Expect a collaborative conversation, some skill practice, and suggestions you can apply in daily life. Dr. Sapp aims to help people move past obstacles so they can make steady progress.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach look like guided conversation where the therapist helps set goals and supports the choices the client wants to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes practical tools to change thinking and behavior. In online work CBT often includes reviewing specific patterns, trying short exercises, and assigning straightforward tasks between sessions to test new skills.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods match their goals and preferences, then adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative decision making helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person in their day-to-day life.

The main practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy schedule. Online work can reduce travel time and make it easier to schedule meetings around work or caregiving. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is useful.
