Dr. Tommie Saragas, LPCC

Dr. Tommie Saragas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 16 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also offers coaching for life transitions and personal growth.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, and then helps clients identify strengths and small, practical steps to change. Sessions focus on clear goals, doable strategies, and skills that people can use between meetings.

Dr. Saragas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs and pace. She works with issues such as caregiver stress, blended family challenges, workplace strain, body image, and feelings of isolation. She also addresses forgiveness, guilt, infidelity, and midlife questions.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is going well and what gets in the way. Therapy includes planning, skill-building, and check-ins to track progress. The goal is to help people feel more grounded and able to move forward.

Reaching out is the first step. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Dr. Saragas draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people set goals and learn skills. One approach she commonly uses focuses on practical problem solving and coping strategies to reduce stress and manage anxiety. This involves breaking problems into steps, testing small changes, and building routines that ease daily strain.

Another approach emphasizes exploring emotions and life transitions to make meaning after loss or during big changes. That work helps people process grief, reorganize priorities, and find clearer direction when feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs, goals, and pace. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and how to shape sessions to fit daily life.
