About Sarai
Sarai Escarment is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people regain hope and take practical steps to manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship strains. Her work emphasizes skill-building and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sarai aims to create a warm, encouraging space where people can try new ways of coping. She uses short-term goals and coaching-style guidance alongside therapy to help people notice small changes. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life habits, routines, and choices.
Her background includes many years supporting people with depression, ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns. She has also worked with children and adolescents around behavior and learning challenges, and with individuals facing career and life transitions.
Clinically she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods are used to build skills for emotion regulation, clearer thinking, and stronger motivation to change.
People who do best with Sarai tend to want practical strategies and coaching alongside traditional therapy. She encourages clients to set achievable steps and to notice progress between sessions. When someone is ready to work on coping, relationships, or behavior change, she supports them through the process.

How Motivational and Skills-Based Approaches Work Online
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and builds commitment in small steps. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping someone weigh pros and cons before choosing a direction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build better habits for mood, anxiety, sleep, and eating concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It teaches breathing and attention practices, emotion regulation techniques, and ways to communicate more effectively.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and life situation. That may mean trying one method for a while and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel time or scheduling sessions around work and parenting. If you prefer, check the therapist's listing to confirm which session formats are offered before booking. The focus remains on practical skill building, motivation, and clear next steps you can use between sessions. -
