How Sarah’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It can help with anxiety, codependency patterns, and life changes by shifting attention from avoiding feelings to living with intention. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. It tends to be hands-on and goal-oriented, which works well for everyday problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center, with the therapist offering empathy and reflective listening to help people make sense of difficult feelings and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and preferences. She blends techniques as needed and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what might be adjusted.
