Kelly Garvey Sachter, LCSW

Approaches you can use online

Kelly frequently draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people name their own goals; this approach is useful when someone wants a supportive, understanding space to make sense of stress or parenting worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another core tool she uses to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses that reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly works together with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferred pace. That means trying simple mindfulness practices, behavioral experiments, or conversational motivational techniques and checking in about what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can fit sessions into busy lives. Video is good for fuller conversation and teaching exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, brief live chat or text messages allow for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, and daily routines.
