Practical, goal-oriented care through online therapy
Sara Schuessler, LPC, draws from approaches that keep clients at the center while offering clear tools for day-to-day change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where clients set the direction, clarify what matters most, and build insight at their own pace. It can be especially helpful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. CBT can help clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new strategies for concerns like anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. When appropriate, she may use Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths, define specific goals, and build practical steps toward progress, even when the problem feels complex.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sara works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts the pace and tools to match what is most useful in the moment.
