How Sayra works
Sayra trained in social work and holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from Barry University. She has 15 years of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient treatment settings across different parts of the care system. That background gives her familiarity with common patterns of anxiety, relationship strain, life transitions, and mood concerns.
In practice she helps people address concerns such as attachment difficulties, body image, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, and midlife questions. She also works with issues around pregnancy and childbirth, social anxiety and phobia, and finding life purpose. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Sayra aims to create a supportive space where clients can try new ways of coping, practice clearer communication, and build confidence over time.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Sayra uses solution-focused work to help clients set clear, immediate goals and try small changes that add up. This approach is useful when people want fast, practical steps to reduce stress or improve a relationship.She also follows a client-centered way of working that prioritizes the client’s experience and choices. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on building strengths like self-esteem and resilience.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt techniques based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility and fits different schedules. Video calls let the conversation feel most like in-person work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide quick, ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer writing over speaking.
These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent during busy weeks or transitions, and the therapist will work with each client to choose what best supports their progress.
