About Sarika
Sarika Griffin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate difficult life moments. She holds LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LISW credentials and works from Nebraska. Her style is practical and compassionate, aimed at building skills for day-to-day life and relationships.
She draws on nearly a decade of experience to address concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Sessions focus on what someone wants to change now and next steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She often works on issues related to relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Sarika pays attention to cultural background and personal history when planning care. She often helps people untangle family of origin patterns, codependency, attachment issues, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Conversations include concrete breathing, coping, and communication strategies alongside deeper work about meaning and self-love. The therapist uses approaches that help people set goals and test small changes in daily life. She blends problem-solving and longer-term processing so things feel manageable.
Clients can expect a direct but warm presence and clear tools to try between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and take place through online formats. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client.
Sarika frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on steps toward greater resilience and clearer relationships.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to identify repeating patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different actions. It often includes homework like short experiments and thought records that fit well with messaging or video follow-ups.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and pace. That could mean starting with solution-focused steps, moving into attachment work, or using CBT tools; the plan evolves based on what helps most.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people read facial cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for quicker check-ins. Chat and messaging are handy for brief updates, practicing skills, or keeping momentum between longer sessions.
