How her approaches translate to online care

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a way to work through traumatic memories by using guided attention and talking, helping reduce the emotional charge of past events. It can be useful for people dealing with trauma, abuse, or persistent upsetting memories.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and anxiety. It helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which can improve sleep, focus, and daily coping.

The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and managing conflict in relationships through clear exercises and skill-building. It is applied to help people express needs, repair trust, and rebuild connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sara will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match the issue, and adjust as needed based on what helps most. Clients and therapist pick a path together rather than following a single fixed plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and working with techniques that use facial cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Chat or text options are useful for shorter check-ins, homework, or when flexibility is needed during a busy day. These options make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit into work, parenting, or health routines.
