How CBT and collaborative care translate to online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing small changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and habit change by teaching concrete skills to manage thoughts and reactions.

Sara takes an integrated, practical approach that blends CBT techniques with other strategies to match each person's needs. That means she will work with a client to choose tools and exercises that make sense for their goals and daily life. The process is collaborative - the client and therapist check progress and adjust the plan as they go.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, reduce travel time, and allow quicker follow-up between appointments. Because the therapist’s session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. The clinician will help decide which way of meeting will best support the client’s goals and schedule.
