Helen Sprague

Helen Sprague is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She guides clients who are wrestling with life changes or searching for more purpose and self-love. Her tone is practical and steady, focused on small, workable steps that fit everyday life.

Helen draws on 15 years of experience to combine body-centered work with thought-focused techniques. She uses somatic approaches to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems stuck.

In sessions she keeps things direct and compassionate. She helps people name their needs, spot unhelpful habits, and try simple experiments between meetings. The work often looks like learning new ways to respond to triggers and practicing different thoughts or behaviors until they feel natural.

Helen also brings mindfulness practices into the room to slow things down and build awareness. These practices can help with anger by creating space between an impulse and a choice. She emphasizes self-compassion alongside practical change so people feel steadier while they make progress.

Her aim is to help each person find what fits them. Helen tailors tools and pacing to the situation, and she focuses on clear next steps people can use in their daily life.

Background and approach: Helen trained and practiced in California and centers her work on mind-body connection, life purpose, and repairing limiting self-narratives. She blends evidence-based methods with somatic awareness to support lasting change.

How Helen Uses CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic Work Online

Helen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on identifying patterns, testing new responses, and practicing small behavior changes that reduce stress and anger.

She also brings mindfulness practices into therapy to increase moment-to-moment awareness. Short breathing and attention exercises help people notice their body's reactions and step back from impulsive responses. These techniques can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Somatic work in her practice focuses on sensations in the body as clues to feelings. She guides clients to notice tension, grounding, and movement, then tries gentle exercises to shift those patterns. This can help people feel more in control when strong emotions arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts pacing as progress is made.
