Approaches that guide online therapy

Sarah Lamie often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s priorities and experiences guide the work. This approach is useful for people seeking understanding, emotional support, and a collaborative partnership in therapy.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression. CBT emphasizes practical tools and measurable steps to address specific concerns.

Mindfulness therapy is another component of her practice, teaching simple attention and grounding techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sarah Lamie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around busy schedules, manage ongoing care during life transitions, and maintain continuity of support with licensed professionals and therapists.
