Evidence-Based Approaches and Teletherapy Options
Sarah uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach helps people clarify values, build self-understanding, and increase motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another foundation of her practice - it focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. She also draws on solution-focused therapy to help clients set clear goals and take practical steps toward immediate improvements in relationships, stress management, and daily functioning.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sarah collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor the plan, combining techniques as appropriate so therapy remains practical and personally relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, or mobility concerns and allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care even when in-person visits are not possible.
