Sara Griffith, LMFT

Sara Griffith is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of clinical experience working with individuals, parents, and families. She brings focused expertise supporting parents of infants and young children through the adjustments of early parenthood, and she works with people facing anxiety, depression, family conflict, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges in relationships and self-esteem. Her practice also addresses parenting concerns, blended family dynamics, attachment and adoption-related issues, postpartum depression, and other family of origin or parenting struggles.

Sara's approach is warm, empowering, and strengths-based. She partners with clients to identify where they feel stuck and to develop practical steps forward, drawing on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current bonds, and using Solution-Focused strategies to highlight what is working and build on existing strengths. Motivational Interviewing informs her collaborative work when clients seek change and need support clarifying their goals and sustaining momentum.

Clients can expect a supportive therapeutic relationship that balances clinical skill with empathy and real-world experience. Sara helps people navigate life transitions, repair relationships, and build resilience so they can move toward healthier family dynamics and personal wellbeing.

Attachment and Solution-Focused Care Online

Sara uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationship patterns shape present connections and parenting responses. This approach is useful for people working on bonding, attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and improving close relationships. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that supports clients who want to make changes but may feel uncertain or ambivalent - it helps clarify values, increase motivation, and plan practical steps toward goals. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients' strengths and small, achievable steps; it is helpful for moving out of stuck places, reducing stress, and creating concrete changes in family or personal routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sara works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to share priorities so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work through life transitions, and engage in consistent treatment regardless of location within the state, all while working with licensed professionals committed to supporting clients' progress.
