Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Sarah Thomas draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their feelings and strengthen self-worth - an approach that often helps with self-esteem and relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it well-suited for anxiety, panic, and mood-related issues. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves, offering space to reframe experiences and reduce the impact of trauma and shame.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Sarah works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they decide which methods to emphasize so the work feels meaningful and effective.
Online therapy with Sarah is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home, stay consistent with appointments, and choose the communication format that best fits one’s life and therapeutic goals.
