Background and approach

Clients can expect a mix of talk, reflection, and concrete steps to try between sessions. Sarinia draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to build a stronger sense of self and healthier relationships. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and Mindfulness techniques to reduce overwhelm.

Jungian perspectives are available for people who want deeper work around meaning and identity. She has eight years of clinical experience and holds LCSW credentials in North Carolina and Virginia. Sarinia often helps people who are moving through life transitions, returning to relationships, or trying to rebuild after hurt.

She welcomes female, male-identifying, non-binary, and two-spirit people, and has experience with multicultural and ethnic concerns. Therapy with Sarinia aims to help people reconnect with their authentic selves. The first sessions typically focus on identifying priorities and creating small, doable goals.

Approaches Sarinia names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approach-driven online therapy for identity and relationships

Sarinia often uses Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more stable connections. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on understanding each person’s experience and following their pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used too, to spot and change thought patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Sarinia collaborates with people to set goals and then tests approaches together, adjusting methods based on what feels most helpful. The plan evolves from the client's needs, preferences, and progress rather than being fixed from the start.

Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, and daily routines.
