Evidence-based approaches, made flexible with online therapy
Sarah Burns integrates well-established therapy methods to help clients make sense of what they are experiencing and take practical steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and everyday behaviors, then practicing new responses that better support mood, stress management, and coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when feelings are intense or hard to manage. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking values-based actions, supporting people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by stress and worry.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then adjusts the plan over time so sessions feel relevant and workable.
Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support in a way that fits real life. Clients can meet by video call or phone, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing needs, and different comfort levels with communication.
