About Lucritia
Lucritia (Ann) Sayles offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood swings, grief, or major life changes. She meets clients where they are and helps them find practical steps to feel better. Ann keeps language simple and focuses on what can change now.
She uses straightforward tools and listening to help people regain daily functioning and hope. Ann draws on 14 years of experience as a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, LIMHP.
How Lucritia works
She blends several approaches to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single method. Sessions often include skill-building for coping, problem-solving for immediate concerns, and exploration of deeper patterns that affect mood and relationships.
Her work covers mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, anxiety and panic, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and challenges like addiction, sleep and eating issues, and anger. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and identity or multicultural concerns. Communication problems and relationship or intimacy-related struggles are addressed through practical strategies and reflective work.
Ann takes a collaborative stance in therapy. She uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and validate, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Mindfulness practices to build present-moment coping skills. Motivational Interviewing helps when change feels hard, and psychodynamic ideas guide exploration of longstanding patterns.
Sessions are offered from Nebraska and available to international clients. Ann provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She aims to make therapy fit into busy lives while helping people move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people feel heard and can identify their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with skills-based CBT, adding mindfulness practices for stress, or using Client-Centered listening to explore deeper issues as trust grows.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or a way to share thoughts without scheduling a call. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to changing routines and needs.
