Approaches that fit online care and everyday life
Sara frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people understand patterns and practice new responses. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, phobias, and mood issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work collaborative and respectful. That approach centers the client’s perspective and values, letting the therapist tailor tools to each person’s goals. Together the therapist and client decide which methods suit current needs and preferences.
Online therapy with Sara uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible ways to connect. Video lets you work face-to-face for role-play and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use a camera. Chat and text work well for brief check-ins, homework, or when a shorter touchpoint fits your day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and practice skills between sessions.
