Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Sarah Barber draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and builds practical skills to change behaviors and moods, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and helps reduce rumination and reactivity, supporting emotional regulation and grounding during difficult moments.Sarah also incorporates Motivational Interviewing when clients face ambivalence about change. This approach focuses on exploring personal values and motivations to support readiness for steps like addressing addictions or making life changes. Treatment choices are collaborative - Sarah works together with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals and to access therapeutic techniques and support in ways that fit everyday life.
