Over nine years working in clinical settings, she has supported people through grief, trauma, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar changes. She also addresses issues such as sleep disruption, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Siarra works with clients dealing with LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, intimacy and relationship challenges including infidelity and jealousy, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. Her practice also covers obsessive-compulsive patterns, personality issues, ADHD, and seasonal affective disorder.
Her practical style draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using clear tools and steps to shift thoughts and behaviors. Clients can expect direct, collaborative sessions that focus on realistic strategies they can practice between meetings.
How CBT and practical therapy translate to online sessions
Online work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying small, concrete changes. CBT offers tools for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and obsessive thinking by teaching skills to test unhelpful thoughts and build new routines.Sessions also emphasize collaborative problem solving. The therapist and client set goals together, try strategies between meetings, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. This helps keep therapy grounded in everyday life and personal priorities.

It can make it easier to maintain consistency, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into a normal day.
Siarra will work with each person to determine which approach and session rhythm best match their needs and goals, making adjustments as those needs change.
