Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Sessions
Sarah Semper draws on a mix of proven approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape present-day patterns and helps people improve trust, boundaries, and emotional connection in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process - the therapist offers empathic listening and support to help individuals discover their values and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and build practical coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sarah works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may combine elements from different models to create a tailored plan that evolves over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support across time zones and life circumstances, while enabling therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care and adapt sessions to each person's situation.
