About Saja
Dr. Saja Mboge uses an approachable, client-centered style to guide parents and families through difficult changes. He combines practical skills with empathy to address problems like parenting strain, grief, depression, and trauma.
Short, focused conversations are common in sessions so busy caregivers can make steady progress. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience and practices in Tennessee. Dr.
Mboge draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
He also uses dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven into sessions to support clearer decision-making and stronger coping. Sessions tend to focus on real-life parenting challenges, household dynamics, and past experiences that affect current family life.
He works to make strategies concrete and practical so parents can try them between sessions. Communication skills, boundary setting, and addressing attachment or abandonment issues are common topics. His practice includes support for those managing grief, mood disorders, or trauma-related symptoms.
He has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and with immigration-related stress. Every plan is built around what the family actually needs and can do in day-to-day life. Dr.
Mboge offers care in English and holds Tennessee and Delaware licenses. He aims for a respectful, steady approach that helps people feel understood while they build new patterns at home.
Therapeutic approaches and online support for family needs
Dr. Mboge commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot thinking patterns that make problems worse and practices small, actionable changes. Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on managing strong emotions and building skills for distress tolerance and better day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He collaborates with each person to match techniques to their parenting goals, family rhythms, and personal preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable for home life and caregiving responsibilities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school drop-offs, work shifts, or caregiving. The variety also lets people use brief check-ins or longer conversations depending on what they need that week.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
