Dr. Tommie Saragas

Dr. Tommie Saragas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 16 years of experience helping adults through stressful and painful life moments. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and the day-to-day strain of stress and burnout. She also offers coaching-style support for those seeking clearer direction or personal growth.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what is practical and useful for everyday life. She listens first, then helps identify strengths and obstacles so clients can try small, realistic changes.

Dr. Saragas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s pace and goals. Therapy commonly explores communication patterns, coping skills for anxiety and stress, and ways to rebuild after loss or relationship rupture. Work on body image, self-love, and midlife questions is also available.

Clients can expect frank conversations and concrete steps to practice between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. She helps people set manageable goals and tracks what is working.

Reaching out can feel hard, and Dr. Saragas emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental setting. If someone wants help sorting through depression, grief, relationship change, or life purpose, she offers ongoing support and practical tools to move forward.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Dr. Saragas draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and problem solving. One commonly used approach teaches practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, task planning, and behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. These techniques help when daily worry, workplace strain, or burnout make it hard to function.

She also works with grief, loss, and relationship difficulties through structured conversations that revisit what matters and identify next steps. This work often combines emotional processing with action-oriented goals like improving communication or setting boundaries. Both approaches aim to give tools people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods to match each person’s needs and pace. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit with busy schedules and fewer travel demands. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a break, follow up on homework, or keep steady weekly meetings without extra commute time.
