Sarai Escarment, LMHC

Sarai Escarment, LMHC, brings 15 years of clinical practice to her work in Florida. She focuses on restoring hope and helping people take back control when life feels overwhelming. Her way of working is direct and encouraging, aimed at practical change rather than lengthy theory. She welcomes motivated individuals and couples who want tools they can use right away.

Before moving into independent practice, she spent years working across a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. That background includes time supporting children and adolescents with behavioral and learning challenges, and adults facing relationship and family conflict. She also has experience with grief, trauma, bipolar mood concerns, and work-related compassion fatigue.

Her therapeutic style mixes several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotion. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck and want to make lasting change.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Clients can expect concrete tools, goal-focused conversations, and a nurturing atmosphere that invites growth. The focus is on building skills that carry into day-to-day life.

People who choose her often want clear steps for coping with stress, improving relationships, or managing mood and addiction challenges. When someone is ready to start, she uses a straightforward process to match goals to treatment and set simple, achievable steps forward.

Approaches that guide online work and choice

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes that lead to better mood and functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and relationship patterns.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches clear skills for handling intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive reactions. It emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative way to explore readiness for change and build internal motivation for steps like reducing substance use or starting new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then use one or more of these methods to fit your situation. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people prefer video visits for face-to-face conversation while others choose audio for a lower-tech option; ask about what the therapist currently offers to match logistics to your life.
