About Tommie
Dr. Tommie Saragas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 16 years of experience working with adults. She helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, stress, burnout, and questions about life purpose.
She keeps sessions practical and collaborative. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and on small, realistic steps to change. She emphasizes identifying strengths and building strategies that fit each person's pace and goals.
Dr. Saragas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to the needs of the person in front of her. Therapy can include problem solving for workplace stress, managing depressive symptoms, or navigating separation and blended family issues. She also addresses caregiver strain, body image, loneliness, and midlife questions in clear, straightforward ways.
People who come for help with relationships can expect focused work on communication, trust, and repairing problems such as infidelity or separation. Those facing grief or loss are offered steady, paced support to process emotions and practical steps for moving forward.
Her style is down-to-earth and goal oriented. She asks concrete questions, suggests specific tools, and checks in on progress. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online intake flow.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dr. Saragas draws on well-established, evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and worry. Behavioral strategies involve breaking larger goals into small, doable actions and using routine changes to reduce stress and burnout. Grief-focused work centers on paced processing, remembering, and building daily routines that support adjustment after a loss.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and adapt methods over time. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize thought work, behavioral tasks, or paced grief processing in a given month.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a workday or family routine. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to attend brief check-ins, follow a regular weekly plan, or use audio-only formats when less bandwidth is available. Licensed professionals can support progress through focused conversations, skill practice, and between-session assignments designed to fit everyday life.
