Sessions are a place to try new ways of handling hard moments. Sarnell pays attention to cultural context and multicultural concerns when they matter to a person’s experience.

Her style is open and nonjudgmental. People can expect clear, simple suggestions and steps to practice between sessions. The work is collaborative - clients and she set the pace together.

How her approaches work online
Evidence-based techniques focus on practical change. One common method is skill-focused work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step plans to reduce worry. These are short, focused practices that people can use between sessions to manage day-to-day symptoms.Another helpful approach is trauma-informed care that pays attention to safety and pacing. This involves slowing down when needed, naming difficult memories, and building coping tools before addressing deeper material. That approach can help people feel steadier while they process painful experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for scheduling and access. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions allow for a conversation without video, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging is useful for short updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and keep momentum between meetings.
