How her approaches guide online care
Sarah commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and she also uses psychodynamic ideas in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to improve mood and function. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in the moment. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from earlier life that influence current feelings and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match the person's goals, needs, and preferences. Discussions about what helps most are ongoing and can shift as progress is made.
