BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sara uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that line up with personal goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT often involves brief experiments and practical homework that can fit into busy days and be reviewed during sessions.
She also brings mindfulness-based techniques to teach attention and grounding skills. Mindfulness work supports stress reduction and better emotional regulation through short practices that can be used between appointments.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that make sense for the situation. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
