About Sarai

Sarai Escarment is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, depression, and family concerns. She practices in Florida and focuses on practical tools that families and parents can use in day-to-day life. Her work often covers parenting, relationship and family issues, and common struggles like sleep, eating, and grief.

Sarai believes people can recover and grow when given clear skills and steady support.

Background and approach

She uses a mix of proven methods to match each person or family’s needs. Sessions are held in a warm, encouraging way that invites honest conversation and doable steps forward. In the room she teaches concrete skills for managing emotions, changing unhelpful patterns, and handling conflicts at home.

She also helps people facing addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and job or life transitions. Parents can get strategies for behavior, routines, and communication with children and teens. Sarai draws from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to shape treatment.

She aims for clear goals and small changes that add up over time. She works collaboratively so the plan fits each family’s priorities. Her license is FL LMHC MH13468.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, chat, or text. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday parenting stress. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can help with intense moods, anger, and relationship conflicts. Motivational Interviewing is a short, goal-oriented way to find motivation for change and is often used when someone is unsure about steps like addressing addiction or building new routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarai will talk with each family or individual about goals and try methods that fit those priorities. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays practical and useful for real life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and busy family schedules. The range of formats also lets people pick how they communicate best while working on parenting skills, emotional coping, or relationship changes.

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.
