Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Dr. Sarita Schapiro uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people feel heard and supports exploration of values and personal goals. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.
