Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sarah combines targeted methods to address trauma, relationships, and emotional patterns in ways that translate well to online work. EMDR is offered as a supplemental intervention that helps the brain process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity - it is often used for symptoms related to PTSD and other trauma responses. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping, helping people build more secure ways of relating to others and to themselves. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting core emotional experiences in relationships, which can be especially helpful for couples and individuals struggling with intimacy and recurring conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Therapists and licensed professionals often blend techniques to match each person’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support during transitions, and integrate therapy into everyday life without sacrificing the depth of the therapeutic work.
