Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sarah draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the person’s goals and experiences guide the work. In this approach the therapist listens closely, helps identify strengths, and supports clients as they take an active role in making changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that explores the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management by helping people develop skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and try new coping strategies.

In addition, Sarah has training in EMDR, a structured approach that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional intensity. EMDR can be helpful for individuals who are coping with trauma or lingering distress related to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sarah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts plans over time based on progress and client feedback.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chats, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. This range of options supports continuity of care and helps people engage in therapy in ways that feel most useful to them.
