Background and approach

Sarah has six years of experience in clinical practice. Her background includes work in community mental health settings and supporting adults with chronic health issues and caregiver stress. That experience informs a practical approach to problems that affect family dynamics and parental responsibilities.

She uses several evidence-based tools in sessions, including cognitive behavioral strategies to address patterns of thinking, dialectical skills for emotional regulation, and motivational interviewing to help people find direction and momentum. These methods are adapted to the concerns a person brings, from stress and anxiety to relationship and communication problems.

Sarah is clear about scope of practice and does not take on significant trauma or abuse cases at this time. Her work concentrates on family and parenting concerns, coping with life transitions, caregiver issues, and related challenges. She offers help in English and practices in Michigan as an LMSW.

Approaches that translate well to online family work

Sarah often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into clear parts and teaches practical exercises for reducing anxiety, managing stress, and improving communication.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills can be helpful when family members need steadier ways to handle strong emotions and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problem at hand and then choose or blend methods that fit. Clients and the therapist make those decisions collaboratively and adjust them as needed over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions into busy family schedules, continue care during life changes, and use different communication styles. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to work in remote formats so people can practice skills between sessions.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
