Clinical approaches and online therapy support
Sarah integrates client-centered therapy into her work, which means she prioritizes the client's perspective and collaborates to create goals that matter to the individual; this approach is helpful for building trust, self-awareness, and personal agency. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns into more constructive behaviors, an approach commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another tool in her repertoire, offering practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for clients facing intense emotions or relationship challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore which methods feel most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care without major schedule disruption. These formats provide flexibility for busy lives, allow ongoing support between meetings, and help connect clients with licensed professionals who can tailor treatment to their circumstances.
