How her methods translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what’s said, and helps people feel heard while they decide on next steps. It’s useful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to try between meetings. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and managing ADHD-related patterns.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change when someone feels unsure. The therapist asks open questions and helps the client weigh options and strengthen motivation, which can be useful for addictions, habit change, and goal-setting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara will listen to your goals and suggest which methods to try, and you can adjust the plan together as you learn what helps best. The process is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is close to an in-person session and works well for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick check-ins, focused problem-solving, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
