How Sarah uses evidence-based approaches online
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach often focuses on practical exercises and steps to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and helping people speak freely about what matters to them so goals can become clearer.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what fits a person's needs, goals, and day-to-day life, and adapt methods as those needs change. This is a collaborative process where techniques are introduced with the client's input.
