Her style mixes gentle listening with hands-on tools. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match what a person needs. This blend helps with mood, worry, sleep, and motivation challenges.
Over eight years of practice have shaped a down-to-earth way of working. Sara aims to be honest and warm while helping people make steady progress. She pays attention to values, communication patterns, and everyday routines that affect wellbeing.

Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and encourages action that matches personal values; it’s often useful for anxiety, low mood, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and change routines that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and focus, which supports those coping with grief, relationship strain, or identity concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video makes it easier to read facial cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a conversation fits better without video. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
