Sara Cardoso

I am a licensed psychologist and a certified online therapist, with over 15 years of clinical experience. I specialize in the treatment of Anxiety and other forms of Stress, and I also have extensive treatment experience on many other issues such as Self-esteem, Burnout, Depression, Emotional Difficulties, Relationship issues, Chronic illnesses, Grief, Menopause, Significant Life Changes, Highly Sensitive People, LGBTQ people...


My therapeutic approach is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy with elements of positive psychology and third-wave therapies (therapies based on mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion). I also include guided relaxation techniques in my sessions. 


My goal is to promote positive change and empower you with tools that will help you deal with your problems. 


I believe that suffering should always be temporary, and my goal as a therapist is to help you surpass it, discover your true self, and improve your quality of life. In my sessions, you will encounter a safe place to express your emotions and feelings and to be heard with empathy, understanding, respect, acceptance, and confidentiality. Together, we will identify effective strategies and develop new coping skills for overcoming challenges, increasing self-awareness, and promoting your overall well-being. We will promote positive change and empower you with tools that will help you deal with your problems in a gradually more autonomous way. Therefore, during consultations, you will also learn relaxation techniques to use at home and prolong the effects of therapy. You will acquire skills and tools that will serve you for life.
