Background and approach
Conversations are practical and goal-focused, with tools you can try between appointments. Her work draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that fuel distress. She also uses emotionally focused methods to help with relationship and intimacy challenges.
Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are offered to support coping and reduce reactivity. Sarah has experience supporting people facing mood disorders, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns such as codependency, control issues, infidelity, hoarding, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
Each treatment plan is shaped around the person’s priorities and day-to-day needs. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sarah encourages small steps and practical experiments, and she works collaboratively to find approaches that fit each person’s life.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and obsessive thoughts. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports their own problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts tools from these approaches so clients can try them between sessions and track what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for easy check-ins, and live chat or text messaging support brief updates and in-the-moment coaching. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life while still using ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques.
