Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sarah uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new, more helpful behaviors. CBT often includes concrete exercises and homework that target anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal boundaries. DBT-informed tools can be useful when emotions feel intense or reactions are impulsive.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions are used to try strategies and then adjust what is most helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also make face-to-face style sessions possible for people who need flexible scheduling or less time away from other responsibilities.
