Sarika Griffin, LCSW, LISW

Sarika Griffin is a licensed social worker who practices in Nebraska. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and brings eight years of experience to her therapy work. Sarika focuses on helping people who are feeling stuck by offering practical tools and steady listening. She aims to make sessions feel direct and approachable for anyone needing support.

Sarika bases her work on clear, goal-oriented methods like cognitive behavioral therapy alongside relationship-focused approaches. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce stress and improve mood. Sessions often include straightforward exercises and small steps people can use between meetings.

Her background emphasizes trauma-informed care and attention to cultural differences. She pays attention to how a person’s family of origin, identity, and past hurts shape current patterns. That perspective guides conversations about attachment, codependency, and healing from sexual assault or domestic violence.

Sarika also addresses addiction, grief, and compassion fatigue with practical planning and motivational techniques. She helps clients set manageable goals, track progress, and adjust plans when life gets in the way. The tone in sessions is supportive and focused on real-world change.

People seeking help with relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, or questions of self-worth will find a clinician who combines listening with clear strategies. She offers video, phone, chat, and text-based formats to fit different needs. The aim is steady progress one step at a time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this can mean talking through relationship history, noticing recurring needs, and practicing different ways of relating in daily life to build more secure connections.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety or lift mood. Online formats work well for CBT because worksheets and practice tasks can be shared and reviewed between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects understanding, and helps people find their own solutions. That style adapts easily to video, phone, chat, or text and keeps work focused on what matters most to the client.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions fit when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can work for quick reflections or ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, school, or other commitments.
