About Lucritia
Lucritia (Ann) Sayles is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with 14 years of clinical experience in Nebraska. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, relationship concerns, and other life changes. Ann also addresses issues like addiction, eating and sleeping problems, panic attacks, trauma and abuse, and multicultural concerns.
Ann uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them set small, manageable goals. Conversations focus on skills you can try between sessions and on understanding patterns that maintain worry or low mood.
Her background blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. That means sessions include attention to current thoughts and behaviors, and exercises to notice and change unhelpful habits. She also draws on motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when those approaches fit the client’s goals.
Ann has worked with people coping with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, identity questions related to LGBT issues, and recovery after traumatic events. She pays attention to cultural context and how identities shape mood, relationships, and day-to-day stressors. Practical strategies are paired with space to talk through painful experiences.
People who prefer straightforward guidance and collaborative planning often do well with her style. If a potential client wants to know how sessions are structured or which techniques are used, she will explain those steps in the first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, which helps people feel understood and shape clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood and introduces practical exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple breath and attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment experience.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest which combination of methods to try first. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as needs change.
