Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sarah uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms and change behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns because it focuses on concrete strategies and problem solving.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to teach present-moment awareness and self-regulation techniques. Mindfulness practices can support stress reduction, improved emotional balance, and greater tolerance for difficult sensations or thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Sarah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time and invites client feedback to shape the course of treatment.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and needs. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible care across different situations, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to access support from where you are.
