About Saja

He focuses on depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. He works with adults who are dealing with mood and interpersonal problems and those affected by military service and immigration stressors.
He uses clear, practical conversations in sessions. He listens for how past relationships shape current reactions.

Sessions often include skills practice from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
His work also addresses family of origin problems, divorce and separation, and communication difficulties. He talks through impulsivity, isolation, and what can look like paranoia or disruptive mood problems. He supports people managing depression and other mood disorders and the grief that follows loss.
Dr. Mboge draws on client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing to make space for the client's perspective. He incorporates mindfulness techniques when helpful to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. His practical aim is to help people handle everyday stressors related to work, family, health, and community responsibilities.
People who choose him can expect focused, straightforward sessions that connect past experience to present choices. He asks about goals, suggests evidence-based options, and tracks progress across sessions. To start, users complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the client's concerns at the center. The therapist listens closely and helps shape sessions around what the client says matters. This approach supports work on parenting stress, grief, and relationship patterns by keeping the client's goals as the guide.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and problem patterns like impulsivity or avoidance.
Dialectical behavior therapy brings specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT strategies can help with mood regulation, reducing impulsive reactions, and handling intense conflict in relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what helps most. Goals, personal preferences, and practical life demands all shape which methods are used.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and use exercises or skills practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to suit people balancing work, family, health care, and community commitments.
