Online therapy with practical, personalized approaches
Sara Figueroa, LCSW, draws from several evidence-informed styles to match the focus of therapy to what a client is facing. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a steady focus on the client’s lived experience, which can be especially helpful when stress, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps connect thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can practice new ways of responding to anxiety, depression, anger, or unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative approach that supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change, often useful when working through substance use concerns, coping habits, or other difficult decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sara works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and adjust strategies over time so therapy feels relevant and workable, not one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from home, during a busy week, or when consistent scheduling is hard.
