Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Sara uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide the work; this approach helps people who need support clarifying values, improving communication, and building trust in relationships. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to explore the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. When emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns, elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are used to teach concrete tools for coping, managing distress, and improving relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Sara works with each client to assess needs, try different strategies, and adjust the plan so it aligns with goals and personal preferences. Clients are active partners in deciding what methods fit best.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from wherever one is located in Wisconsin.
