Her clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought and behavior patterns that cause distress. CBT often includes setting small goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking progress in daily life.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to handle conflict. DBT skills can be helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and managing stress in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That makes therapy a collaboration rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow short check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and day-to-day needs.
