CBT focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns and then trying small experiments to change them, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sara will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that feel like a good fit. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needs change, emphasizing practical steps the person can use between sessions.
