Sarika Griffin

Sarika Griffin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage big life changes and painful experiences. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and practices in Nebraska. Her style is warm and focused on understanding where each person is coming from. She uses practical, trauma-informed methods that center relationships and personal growth. Sessions often look at how past hurts and attachment patterns shape current feelings. Conversations also cover self-worth, coping skills, and rebuilding a sense of purpose after loss or change. Sarika pays attention to culture and identity as part of healing. She listens for how discrimination, prejudice, and family background affect mood and relationships. This helps tailor strategies that fit an individual's life and values. People who work with her can expect help breaking down big problems into manageable steps. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and on solution-focused tools to set short-term goals. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people are weighing change. Her practice also addresses substance concerns, anger, grief, and intimacy-related struggles. She supports people facing attachment difficulties, codependency, control issues, and recovery from sexual assault or domestic violence. With eight years of experience, Sarika aims for a respectful, collaborative tone. She helps people build the day-to-day skills that make change possible and supports them as they try new ways of coping.

How these approaches can work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional reactions. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns, practice new ways of relating, and repair trust in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace. The therapist listens without judgment and follows what the client brings to each session, which can be useful when sorting through life changes or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It often includes concrete exercises and between-session practice to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will try methods that fit those needs. This collaborative process helps decide which combination of approaches feels most helpful. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people work through relationship patterns and practical skills from wherever they are, while adapting pace and homework to real-life demands.
