Practical Approaches, Flexible Online Support
Sarah Johnston Margarida uses a client-centered style that emphasizes respect, collaboration, and your lived experience. Sessions focus on what matters most to you, helping you feel heard while identifying goals that fit your values and current season of life.She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. CBT can be especially helpful when stress or anxiety feels overwhelming, or when unhelpful patterns keep repeating in relationships, work, or day-to-day routines.
Mindfulness Therapy may be incorporated as well, offering skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled under by them. This approach can support coping with life changes, grief, and moments of heightened emotional intensity by building steadier awareness and self-compassion.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients to understand preferences, goals, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, adjusting the work together over time.
Online therapy makes support easier to fit into real life. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can be useful for busy schedules, transitions, or when consistent access matters most.
