Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Sarah Wall uses evidence-informed approaches to guide online work in ways that make sense for each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client’s perspective and goals shape the process - it is useful for exploring identity, relationships, and life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills, which can be especially effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting those who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or impulsive behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sarah works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods over time so the work fits what a person wants to achieve. This shared decision-making helps shape a treatment plan that feels manageable and relevant.
Online care brings practical benefits such as flexibility and easier access to regular support. While therapists and licensed professionals may offer video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, Sarah currently provides messaging and live chat sessions to accommodate schedules and allow ongoing communication between sessions. These formats can make consistent progress more convenient for people juggling work, family, or other commitments.
