Sarika Griffin, LCSW, LISW

Sarika Griffin is a licensed clinical social worker who brings eight years of practice to her work in Nebraska. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and focuses on helping people who are coping with trauma, relationship struggles, mood concerns, and life changes. She aims to create a calm space where people can feel heard and begin to make small, practical changes.

She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, codependency, and family of origin wounds. Her practice pays attention to multicultural issues, prejudice, and identity-related stressors.

Sarika uses approaches that include attachment-based methods, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral strategies. She draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when people want to build momentum and reach short-term goals. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and practice skills that reduce distress.

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She listens for what matters to each person and helps map practical steps toward clearer relationships and better daily coping. She also supports exploration of shame, guilt, isolation, and questions of life purpose.

People who choose her can expect straightforward talk, paced goal-setting, and attention to cultural background. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people notice how they relate to others and practice different ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace; the therapist offers reflective listening and support so clients can find their direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit each person's situation. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since available formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people choose whether to be on camera. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to find the format and schedule that best match your daily life and goals.
