Online support
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Sara draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based action. ACT often includes simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build habits that match what matters most.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy approaches that look at how past connections shape current relationships and closeness. These ideas can help people improve communication, decrease reactivity, and feel more supported with others.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Sara works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's concerns, goals, and daily life. She checks in about what is or isn't working and adapts tools over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support different rhythms of life. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone can fit a tight schedule or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and travel schedules while keeping focus on practical change.
