Dr. Tommie Saragas

Dr. Tommie Saragas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with more than 16 years of work helping adults through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She also offers coaching for life transitions and clarity. Her tone is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at people who need practical help right now.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can tell their story and be heard. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and obstacles, and on building realistic steps to feel better. Dr. Saragas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s pace and goals.

Common concerns she addresses include burnout, caregiver stress, blended family and communication problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, and the loneliness that can come with life changes. She also supports people working on body image, self-love, forgiveness, and finding life purpose. Workplace problems and women's issues are part of her practice as well.

Her method is practical rather than theoretical. Expect to talk through what’s happening now, try concrete strategies between sessions, and review what helps. Progress is measured in small, meaningful changes that fit daily life.

Dr. Saragas asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started. Sessions are scheduled based on the therapist’s availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Dr. Saragas draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach uses structured, goal-focused work to reduce anxiety and stress by teaching coping skills and step-by-step behavior changes. Another approach centers on processing grief and relationship concerns through guided conversations that help people make sense of losses and repair communication patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit your situation. Together you will test what helps and adjust the plan over time to match progress and comfort level.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats directly before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during a workday or a quieter hour at home. Some formats work better when bandwidth is limited or when a quick phone call is all that’s needed. A therapist will discuss practical logistics and recommend an approach that fits your schedule and needs.
