Something is wrong, you just know it. Your chest feels tight, you can’t focus, you’re dropping the ball on important tasks. This perfect image you have crafted is falling apart and you don’t know what to do. You have tried it all. You have bought all the planners, followed all the wellness Instagram accounts, and tried all the self-care products, but nothing helps. The problem feels deeper. It’s a problem you can tackle alone. It is tough to admit, but you need some help. Some extra support. Someone who understands and won’t judge you.

Imagine this. Your toolbox is full of strategies to calm yourself down, take control of your thoughts, and live in the moment so you can enjoy life again. You know what activities fill your cup. It’s no longer about what is right, it’s about what works for you. You feel lighter, feel more joy, and know you can conquer the world as you have always planned. You know it is all going to be better than okay from now on.

I draw from a few therapeutic techniques including Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor my approach to your unique needs. My primary goal is to understand your core values and personality and make efforts to support you in aligning your actions with who you are. Together we work to understand the root cause of your anxiety and develop a holistic approach to making lasting changes in your life.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Sara is a great listener and therapist. She is very kind and honest. During my sessions with Sara, i always had the feeling that I’m speaking with a close friend who is without any judgments. I’m very sure that Sara is really passionate about what she does and really wants to help others, which is why i would definitely recommend Sara as a therapist.
