Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people process life changes, improve self-esteem, and build confidence by centering the client’s values and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies and shifts unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and coping with stress by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These practices can support clients dealing with anxiety, grief, and chronic stress by helping them stay present and respond more intentionally.

Saralyn works together with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
