Dr. Tommie Saragas

Dr. Tommie Saragas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with more than 16 years of experience supporting adults through difficult seasons. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the practical challenges that come with life transitions. Her work also includes coaching around goals and personal growth.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps identify strengths and small steps that make a difference. Sessions focus on clear, realistic strategies rather than abstract talk. The aim is practical change that fits into everyday life.

Dr. Saragas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs and pace. She works with issues such as communication problems, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and divorce and separation. She also supports people dealing with body image, guilt and shame, infidelity, loneliness, and workplace stress.

She explains options, then partners with clients to choose approaches that match goals. Therapy may include coping skills, problem-solving, and guided reflection to build new habits and choices. Her sessions are paced to the person's readiness and life demands.

Reaching out is a step toward change, and she frames the work as a partnership. People who want to clarify values, recover from loss, reduce worry, or work through relationship pain will find an approach focused on practical moves and steady support.

Approaches that guide online work and decision-making

Dr. Saragas draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s goals and challenges. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and problem-solving - teaching practical tools to reduce worry, manage stress, and handle daily demands. This helps people who feel overwhelmed or burned out by concrete steps they can try between sessions.

Another approach emphasizes exploring feelings and patterns that keep someone stuck, then practicing new ways of responding. This style helps with relationship problems, grief, or issues like shame and self-image by combining reflection with small behavioral changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to find what fits their needs, goals, and pace. That decision can shift over time as progress or new challenges appear.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the specific formats offered before booking since they are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that focus on immediate problems. It can also let people use fewer video resources when bandwidth is limited or choose a shorter session for a quick coaching check-in.
