How Sarah works
Sessions emphasize learning skills, changing unhelpful patterns, and making choices that fit a client's life. She brings 13 years of clinical experience that includes work in addiction counseling and programs for people in criminal justice settings. Her background also includes running an addiction recovery program in a homeless shelter for women and children, and collaboration with family and criminal courts.
That history informs practical strategies for coping, relapse prevention, and rebuilding routines. Common concerns addressed in her practice include addiction, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people with relationship struggles, parenting stress, family-of-origin issues, and intimacy-related problems.
Sarah works with a range of attachment and adoption-related questions as well. Her approach treats the person rather than a label. Sessions typically combine skill teaching, careful questioning, and collaborative goal-setting.
People looking for structured tools and hands-on guidance often find this approach helpful.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more useful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, self-harm risk, and relationship challenges.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change, especially around substance use. That approach centers on listening, reflecting, and helping clients find their reasons to move forward. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; she will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or tighter schedules. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to access care from different locations while using approaches like CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing effectively.
