More about Sana

8 years' experience
Female
LCSW

I am available for virtual visits with clients in Hawai'i, but personally based in North Carolina. I have worked with adults who present with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, psychosis, mania, substance use, interpersonal relationship issues, and trauma. I have also worked with clients of varying gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and education level. If you are interested in working together, then please verify your personal information through Headway.co and we can schedule a 15-minute telephone consultation to see if we would be a good match before beginning our telehealth sessions.

My therapy approach is warm and person-centered. I always meet my clients where they are at. I implement multiple treatment modalities, with a dash of humor, and utilize each client’s strengths to identify solutions and guide them to where they want to be. I will accommodate our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and I am proud of you for taking the first step towards change. It would be an honor to assist and support you through the next stage of your life.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
