About Sara
Her clinical toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, and she also integrates Solution-Focused and Narrative approaches when they fit the goals of treatment. This flexibility allows her to tailor care for individuals or couples, with an emphasis on practical strategies that can produce meaningful shifts while building long-term confidence and coping skills. Clients can expect to be treated with respect, care, and compassion, and to have a collaborative guide who supports them in becoming the version of themselves that feels authentic and sustainable.
Sara is available for messaging and live chat sessions for new clients for the foreseeable future and maintains online office hours Monday through Saturday. Sunday is her personal day and she does not respond to messages or schedule sessions then; messages received after Saturday evening are answered on Monday.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Sara integrates Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client sets the pace and priorities; this approach supports self-exploration and helps with relationship, self-esteem, and identity concerns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic coping, offering concrete skills for everyday challenges. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when clients are facing difficult changes such as substance use or other behavior change goals - this collaborative style helps clarify values and strengthen motivation to take steps toward a healthier life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sara works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access care from different locations. For many people, these options increase consistency and make it simpler to engage with licensed professionals and therapists while working toward meaningful change.
