About Tommie
Dr. Tommie Saragas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and coaching for life transitions. Her practice includes a focus on blended family issues and related relationship challenges.
She keeps sessions practical and collaborative. She listens for strengths and patterns that get in the way. Then she helps people choose small, realistic steps they can try between meetings. The emphasis is on making changes that fit daily life rather than on lengthy theory discussions.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, adjusted to each person’s pace and goals. Sessions often include talking through feelings, looking at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and practicing clearer communication skills. She also supports people working through grief, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and workplace strain.
People often come for help after a separation, during a midlife re-evaluation, or when a new blended household raises loyalty or boundary issues. She addresses guilt, shame, infidelity, and the complicated emotions that follow life transitions. The focus is practical problem-solving and rebuilding everyday routines that reduce stress.
Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. She expects collaboration: the therapist and client set goals and review what works. To begin, a short questionnaire and a first session help clarify priorities and plan next steps.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Her profile notes she draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Cognitive behavioral approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve problem solving. Grief-focused methods guide people through loss with gentle pacing and practical coping strategies that make daily life easier. Both approaches aim to identify clear steps people can try between appointments.Deciding which method to use is collaborative. She will work with each person to match an approach to their goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. That planning is revisited as progress is made so techniques can be adjusted when needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain regular appointments and apply new skills in real-world routines.
