Phone 21 (Telephone Consultations)
Phone 21 is a phone program that I have developed for the 21st century that takes full advantage of the medium of the telephone. There are people who are more comfortable on the phone than they are in person. These folks would say things on the phone that they would never say in person. An other value of the phone counseling is that sometimes people are either unable to leave their homes or are geography unable to come to the office. I have developed three approaches that are specially set up to help different personality types.
(3) Non Structured Program was created for the Artist/free spirit type. "Open ended approach". Structured There are two possibilities for structured programs: (1) A wonderful self help resource has been created by the Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety. It is a complete audiotape program. There is over 16 hours of terrific information for people who are suffering from stress, anxiety and depression. There is a companion workbook that is designed to supplement the tape program. If you would like to learn more about this program give me a call. I am an affiliate therapist with The Center for Stress and Anxiety and will be glad to get you the program at a discount. The program can be used on it’s own or as an adjunct to therapy. (2) We can use a very effective book called The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook (4th edition)by Davis, Eshelman, and Mc Kay published by New Harbinger Publications On a regular basis (twice a week, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) we can set an agenda and then together we can: 1. Go over the work that you have done 2. Focus on questions that have come out of doing the "homework assignment" 3. Talk about what has gone on between our meetings and how the material applies 4. I can teach you adjunct material that goes along with the material that you have covered. Moderately Structured 1. Have a few notes about the subjects, issues, problems that you would like us to deal with 2. At the end we summarized what we have covered together and develop 3. Home work Assignments Unstructured During our time we talk about things spontaneously. I am very interested in creativity. We develop strategies together to help you develop your creative self. As issues unfold we can develop strategies, and techniques to help you with personal relationship or career issues. Rather than fit my style let’s follow what works for you. Special Phone Techniques I have created a method to teach you to utilize Guided Imagery and Focused Self hypnosis over the phone. These are two innovative techniques that can really help you conquer your anxiety, depression, OCD, & social Phobias When I work on the phone with someone my sessions are generally 30 minutes in length. That’s long enough to talk about a host of issues, but not so long as to get tedious. To get the most out of an initial session I would like you to write out an agenda. Starting with what you would like help with. Think of questions you would like some answers for. Don’t worry about asking the wrong questions or if the question is "silly" or obvious. Fee for phone session $60.00 per ½ hour. Back to Dr. Marty's Home Page |
