Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Support

Sarah uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients’ perspectives and goals guide the work; this approach is especially helpful for building self-esteem and exploring relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to teach practical coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and shifting emotional patterns within relationships and can be effective for couples and individuals dealing with intimacy or attachment-related struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Sarah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and support more accessible for busy lives or those in different parts of Louisiana. Licensed professionals can provide structured, goal-oriented care through these formats while tailoring session style and homework to fit each client’s circumstances.
