Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people set small goals and build practical skills they can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Common topics she addresses include panic attacks, self-esteem struggles, feelings of emptiness, and the aftermath of sexual assault and abuse. Sara uses a mix of approaches to match needs. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered for those working through traumatic memories. She also brings narrative therapy and motivational interviewing into sessions to help people reframe difficult stories and find internal motivation for change.
Sessions emphasize steady progress, concrete tools, and attention to culture and identity when relevant. For someone feeling overwhelmed or stuck, Sara offers a practical, person-focused path forward. She collaborates on clear steps and adapts methods to what fits each person.
People who want direct support for trauma, anxiety, or identity-related stress will find a pragmatic approach here.
How therapeutic approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing them into more useful ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms by teaching concrete strategies to reframe thinking and change behaviors.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. It helps people learn grounding techniques, emotion regulation, and ways to interact more effectively when feelings run high.
EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method some people use to process traumatic memories. It involves guided processing of upsetting memories to reduce their intensity and the distress they cause.
Sara will work together with each person to choose which approach or combination of approaches fits best. That decision is collaborative and based on worries, goals, and what the person feels ready to try. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping treatment consistent.
