How Sara works
Sara often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective and pace. For people who struggle with intense emotions, elements of dialectical behavior therapy can teach grounding and emotion regulation skills.
She supports people working through grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and identity-related challenges. Additional focuses include chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency, and coping with major life changes such as divorce or relocation. Sara offers a respectful, nonjudgmental space where goals are clear and progress is measured in small steps.
She encourages collaboration so clients leave sessions with concrete actions to try between meetings.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy centers on the person's goals and perspective, so online sessions begin with open conversation about what the client wants to change and how they prefer to work. This method is helpful for people needing a therapist who listens and adapts to their pace.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change patterns. In online sessions CBT can include structured exercises, homework, and guided practice to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. When used online, DBT techniques can be taught through short skills coaching, role plays on video, and written summaries to review between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays useful and focused.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets clients work face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
