Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Sarah McGrath uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts and behaviors - this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. In addition, Sarah employs a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person’s own goals, values, and experiences, creating a collaborative foundation for change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sarah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online therapy offers the flexibility to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage caregiving or health constraints, and access consistent support from home. These options allow clients to work with licensed professionals in ways that best suit their daily life and communication style.
