Online Therapy and Evidence-Based Approaches
Sarah Bishop uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and creating a nonjudgmental space where goals and solutions emerge from the client’s own values and strengths - it is helpful for people navigating life changes, relationship concerns, and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete strategies and skills, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with addictive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, offering practical tools for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and ongoing mood challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work; Sarah collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy with Sarah is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain consistent, goal-focused work with a licensed professional.
