Sara Griffith , LMFT

Sara Griffith is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 20 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, parents, and families. She brings long-term practice working with families and young children and applies that background to help clients navigate transitions such as becoming a parent, managing postpartum challenges, and adjusting to life changes.

Sara’s work often focuses on maternal mental health, pregnancy and parenthood, relationship difficulties, family problems, and emotional challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and stress. She also supports people dealing with attention differences, bipolar disorder, self-esteem concerns, and a range of attachment and family-of-origin issues. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, abandonment and attachment issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, and challenges around commitment and separation.

Her therapeutic style is described as positive, nurturing, and empowering. Drawing on clinical judgment, life experience, and intuition, she helps clients move out of stuck places and build on existing strengths. As an attachment-focused clinician, she explores how past relationships influence present patterns and uses solution-focused methods to identify practical steps forward. She also incorporates mindfulness, experiential work, and elements of recovery approaches when relevant. Sara aims to meet people where they are and support growth through collaborative, strength-based care.

Approaches to Attachment and Practical Online Support

Sara Griffith uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients build stronger relationships and find practical solutions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current patterns - it helps people understand emotional needs, improve closeness, and repair ruptures in relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-oriented - it emphasizes discovering strengths and small, doable steps that move people toward the changes they want.

Sara works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach fits best. She listens to clients' goals, preferences, and life context and tailors the work together, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the plan reflects the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexible options that fit busy schedules and varied needs. Sessions may take place by video call, on the phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that feels most convenient and accessible. Working remotely with licensed professionals makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, manage ongoing stresses, and practice new skills between sessions.
