About Sarita

Sarita Ledet is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 37 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, career concerns, and building self esteem. Her approach centers on helping people find clearer direction and more confidence in day-to-day life.

Sarita believes clients know their own stories and brings a respectful, collaborative style to sessions. She notices strengths and helps people use them to face hard moments. Conversations aim to be practical and grounded rather than abstract.

In therapy she supports work on motivation, self-love, and overcoming guilt and shame. That often includes talking about life purpose, workplace strain, and the emotional load caregivers carry. She pays attention to how past hurts shape current choices and feelings.

Sessions typically focus on small, doable shifts that add up. Sarita encourages people to try new perspectives and to test changes between meetings. She also helps with coping strategies for compassion fatigue and persistent stress.

Her style is steady and empowering. She helps people sort priorities, clarify goals, and build confidence to take next steps. To begin, clients choose the continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Existential approaches and online therapy

Sarita uses an existential approach, which looks at meaning, choice, and how people want to live. This perspective helps when someone is questioning life purpose, struggling with motivation, or facing big transitions.

Existential work often involves direct conversation about values and responsibility. It helps people clarify what matters most and make intentional decisions about career, relationships, and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and practices fit a person's needs and goals. Sessions are conversational and aimed at practical steps the person can try between meetings.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you prefer to meet without commuting or need a way to more easily schedule around work, online options can help. Please confirm current session formats before booking so you know which options are available.
