Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Sarah Chiba uses client-centered therapy to create an empathic, accepting space where clients lead the conversation and feel heard; this approach helps people explore values, self-esteem, and life purpose while building trust with their therapist.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is often useful for addressing anxiety, stress, and patterns that contribute to addictions or low confidence.
Mindfulness therapy appears in her work as well, offering simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during stressful or transitional periods.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sarah collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy feels personally relevant.
