Clinical Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports acting in ways that reflect personal values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, persistent stress, and motivation challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps the person find their own solutions; this approach is often helpful for building self-esteem, confidence, and processing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and adjusts unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for conditions like depression, anxiety, and anger.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sara works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and she adapts methods over time to fit the client’s needs. This collaborative stance helps ensure the approach aligns with personal values and real-life goals.
Online therapy with a licensed professional provides flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
