Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Sara uses several structured approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or substance use, and then practice alternative strategies. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are considering change by exploring their own reasons for and against taking steps forward. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s goals and perspective at the center of each session.
These methods are presented in an accessible, goal-oriented way and can be adapted to short-term problem solving or longer-term exploration. Clients who prefer collaborative planning and practical tools may find CBT and Solution-Focused elements helpful, while those working through trauma may draw on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy to process experiences.
Remote appointments are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their situation. Sessions aim to align therapeutic approach with the client’s needs and preferred communication style.
