How her approaches guide online work

Sarah often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying patterns that keep problems going and practicing small changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce stress and increase moment-to-moment awareness. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those fit a person's goals. These methods are taught in a step-by-step way so clients can practice skills between sessions. Deciding which approach to use is a joint decision made with the therapist based on goals and day-to-day needs. If you are considering online work, confirm the currently offered session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try skills practice in their usual routines, which helps apply new habits to real life. The therapist will help match the approach and format to what will work best for each person.
