CBT-Informed Care and Flexible Online Sessions

Saundra Rankin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary approach, which helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing emotions and behaviors. CBT is often applied to concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties because it focuses on actionable techniques to improve day-to-day functioning.

Alongside CBT, Rankin emphasizes a strengths-focused, collaborative approach that recognizes the client as the expert in their own story. She works with clients to clarify goals, test strategies in real life, and adjust the plan as needed so the treatment fits each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Rankin offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable. Throughout the process she partners with clients to find the therapeutic approach and session style that best supports their progress.
