About Saja
Dr. Saja Mboge is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience helping people navigate depression, trauma, grief, and self-esteem struggles. He practices in Tennessee and uses straightforward, person-focused care to help people make practical changes in day-to-day life.
He draws on client-centered methods to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through painful memories and current problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments that can change feelings and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools and mindfulness practices are offered when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Dr. Mboge pays attention to how family of origin, attachment patterns, and codependency shape relationships and choices. He helps people notice repeated patterns, set clearer boundaries, and build healthier communication habits. Sessions are grounded and action-oriented while still making room for processing grief and loss.
His approach is collaborative: goals are agreed on together and adjusted as progress is made. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change, helping them find their own reasons to move forward.
People looking for practical coping skills alongside empathic support may find his style useful. He aims to translate therapy into small, manageable steps that fit busy lives.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Dr. Mboge uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people name their goals so the work feels relevant to their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to notice patterns of thinking and to try practical changes that can reduce depression and anxiety symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their needs, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process helps people see which tools stick and which need tweaking.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find virtual care useful because it can fit into a lunch break, reduce travel time, or make scheduling easier around parenting and work. Online work can focus on skill practice, tracking progress between sessions, and shorter check-ins when life gets busy. Licensed professionals tailor the mix of conversation and exercises to what fits each person’s routine.
