Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Sara draws on a person-centered, strengths-based approach that centers the client as the expert in their own life. This way of working focuses on identifying existing strengths and values, then using those resources to guide problem solving and personal growth. It is especially useful for people coping with life transitions, family conflict, and grief.

She also uses practical skills-based techniques to help manage stress, anxiety, panic symptoms, and mood challenges. These techniques often involve step-by-step strategies for emotion regulation, relaxation, and improving day-to-day coping, which can reduce overwhelm and improve functioning in daily life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Sara will work with each person to determine which combination of strengths-focused work and skills-based tools best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
