About Sasha

Sasha McCraw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a direct, compassionate style to help people facing stressful life moments. She focuses on practical ways to cope with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and other family-related pressures. Sasha speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel approachable for worried parents and caregivers.

She brings eight years of counseling experience across clinical, home, hospital, and school settings. That variety informs how she adapts sessions to different family needs and life stages.

Background and approach

Sasha leans on evidence-based tools to address immediate problems while also looking at patterns that keep challenges repeating. Her work draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. She uses these methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts, strengthen emotional connection, reduce distress, and explore deeper themes that affect behavior.

Sasha also focuses on caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, fertility and family planning concerns, infidelity and jealousy, money and workplace issues, and post-traumatic stress. She helps people sort priorities, set realistic steps, and rebuild routines when life feels overwhelming. Based in Georgia, Sasha offers sessions in English.

She uses a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach and works with clients to identify goals, try strategies, and track progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sasha commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for building trust and exploring what matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, which can help when routines and parenting feel overwhelming.

She may also use Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address relationship and family patterns by helping people identify and express underlying emotions. EFT often helps when communication has broken down or when emotional distance needs repair. Choosing which approach to use is a shared process; the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together based on what is helping.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access care from home, during breaks, or between appointments. Sasha uses these formats to teach skills, review homework, and check progress while keeping sessions practical and focused on everyday family challenges.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
