About Sara
Sara uses a warm, interactive style that focuses on strengths and solutions. She listens to each person’s story and works side by side with them. In sessions she offers tools and coping skills people can use between appointments.
Her clinical experience covers anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and addiction related to alcohol and illegal drugs. She has also worked with people on the autism spectrum with mild needs and with emotional reactions tied to physical disability. Grief, loss, and transitions such as moving into assisted living are part of her background with older adults.
Sara draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods shape practical exercises, emotion work, and goal-oriented steps in sessions.
She also supports people facing relationship problems, family stress, body image and eating concerns, caregiver strain, and immigration-related challenges. With three years of clinical experience, Sara focuses on clear, reachable steps and steady support as people navigate change.
How these approaches translate to online care
Sara uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose meaningful actions despite them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that match those goals and adjust the plan over time based on what feels useful.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or evenings. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed or for using video or phone in ways that suit the person’s energy and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises, homework, and emotion-regulation practices to work well in an online format.
