How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sarah uses client-centered therapy to build a clear understanding of what matters to each person. This approach focuses on listening, clarifying goals, and shaping sessions around the client's priorities. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood. CBT sessions typically include practical exercises and experiments to try between meetings, which can be reviewed during online appointments. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional steadiness during hard moments.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust based on what helps. That work is gradual and shaped by each person's preferences and life situation.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before you book. The biography does not list session formats, so check current options.
