Background and approach
Her background includes work in criminal justice settings, residential centers, and recovery programs for women and children. In sessions she uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she helps clients spot thought and behavior patterns, learn coping skills, work through painful memories, and set small goals that move life forward.
Conversations are collaborative and action-oriented. Sarah spent years running an addiction recovery program and coordinating with courts and community services. Those roles shaped a practical approach to treatment and a focus on real-world recovery steps.
She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Studies and a Master of Arts in Integrated Recovery and Co-Occurring Disorders. Clients find that work with her centers on building skills, improving communication, and reducing cycles of shame or avoidance. She offers a straightforward path for people ready to address addiction, trauma, mood struggles, or relationship strain.
How Sarah’s Approaches Work Online
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change thought patterns that lead to distress; this method suits anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. She also applies Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in relationships. Motivational Interviewing is used in sessions focused on addiction or behavior change to strengthen a person’s own reasons for making different choices.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sarah will talk with each person about their goals, the problems they want to solve, and what feels most helpful. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s life and priorities.
Online therapy can make consistent care easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions, share wins, or get quick support without scheduling a call. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other demands.
