Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more adaptive skills. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and problems with impulsivity or panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - tools often helpful for intense emotions, self-harm behaviors, and relationship challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore and strengthen their own reasons for change, which can be especially useful for substance use, ambivalence about recovery, and other behavior changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts techniques from these approaches to create a tailored plan. This collaborative process helps identify what works best over time rather than assuming a single method will fit every situation.
Online therapy with Sarah is offered through flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular care, maintain continuity during life changes, and use the therapeutic approach that best supports progress.
