About Sara

Sara Griffith is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on supporting people through relationship and parenting challenges. She brings calm, practical guidance to worries about anxiety, depression, postpartum concerns, and the stress of life changes. Sara speaks plainly and helps clients find manageable next steps.

With 20 years of experience in California, Sara draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current relationships. She uses solution-focused ideas to find concrete strengths and small changes that make life easier.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making a change or feels stuck. Sara often works with parents and individuals navigating adoption, blended family issues, fatherhood questions, and the strain of caring for young children. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, abandonment concerns, and difficulties with commitment or codependency.

Therapy sessions emphasize a warm, encouraging tone. Conversations explore how patterns from the past show up now and what to try instead. Practical tools are mixed with emotional work so clients can both feel better and act differently.

Clients can expect collaborative planning and short-term goals when those fit, or deeper work when needed. Sara helps people notice small wins, rebuild trust in relationships, and reduce day-to-day stress so parenting and connection feel more manageable.

Online support

How attachment work and goal-focused methods translate online

Sara uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people see how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. That approach focuses on emotions and safety in relationships, which can be discussed and practiced over video or phone. Motivational Interviewing is also used to clarify a person’s goals and strengthen motivation for change through reflective conversation and small, doable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients choose whether attachment-focused reflection, solution-oriented goals, or a mix fits best. Decisions are made collaboratively based on needs, goals, and personal preference so the plan feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep consistent progress.
