Dr. Tommie Saragas

Dr. Tommie Saragas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 16 years of experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and life purpose. She also addresses workplace strain, midlife questions, and issues that come with divorce and blended families.

She keeps sessions collaborative and practical. Tommie listens for what is getting in the way and helps people identify clear next steps. Conversations often center on realistic coping strategies for stress, ways to rebuild after loss, and skills to improve communication in strained relationships.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person’s pace. She helps clients break large problems into manageable steps and tracks progress over time. That might mean trying new ways to handle difficult feelings or practicing different approaches to common conflicts.

Clients can expect direct, walk-through guidance rather than abstract theory. Tommie focuses on what can change now and what can be developed over weeks and months. She pays attention to practical obstacles such as work schedules and caregiver demands when planning sessions.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Kentucky and sustained work supporting adults through life transitions. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session that fits their timing.

Therapeutic methods and how online work fits

Dr. Saragas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical terms. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing or behavioural exercises to reduce immediate overwhelm. Another approach focuses on communication and problem-solving to address relationship strain and conflicts, breaking interactions down into concrete steps to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review goals and preferences in the first sessions and adjust methods as therapy progresses. That makes the process collaborative: methods can shift if something feels unhelpful or a different focus is needed.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that is helpful. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy slot into everyday routines without changing the therapeutic focus.
