BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes to see if they help. DBT emphasizes building emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills through repeated practice and coaching of specific strategies.She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep sessions practical. That means conversations aim to clarify current goals, try doable steps, and adjust plans based on what helps. She will work with clients to decide which combination of approaches fits their needs and preferences.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins or skill practice between appointments. The therapist and client will discuss pacing, homework, and how to use sessions so they fit into day-to-day life.
