Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Sara Lopes integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create a practical, compassionate framework for online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply, honoring each person’s values, and pacing change according to the client’s readiness - it is useful for building trust, self-esteem, and clearer decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and is often applied for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change; this approach helps clarify personal motivations and build commitment to steps like recovery from substance use or starting new coping strategies. Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process - Sara works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. These options make it easier to maintain regular work with a licensed professional, access support from different locations, and integrate therapeutic tools into daily life.
