About Sarita

Sarita Ledet is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 37 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Sarita also addresses caregiver stress, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, women’s issues, and workplace concerns.

She approaches therapy from an existential perspective. That means conversations focus on meaning, choices, responsibility, and how someone wants to live now. Sessions tend to be straightforward and reflective. The therapist helps clients name what matters and notice the values shaping their decisions.

Sarita respects that clients know their own life story. She helps people notice strengths they already use and practical steps they can take. Work often includes looking at patterns that keep a person stuck and trying different ways of responding.

Typical topics include addressing guilt or shame about past actions, sorting through career crossroads, and coping with the emotional weight of caregiving or workplace stress. Therapy can include direct discussion, questions that invite reflection, and guidance toward clearer choices.

She frames change as incremental. Sessions are aimed at clearer thinking about difficult feelings and more deliberate action. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the site’s online options.

Existential approach and online sessions

Sarita works from an existential therapy perspective, which focuses on meaning, choice, and responsibility in daily life. This approach helps people who feel stuck by encouraging clear reflection on values and the consequences of different choices.

Existential work in sessions often means asking direct questions about what matters and where someone wants to place their energy. It can be useful for guilt and shame that centers on identity or past decisions, and for career and life purpose concerns that need clearer direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarita collaborates with each person to decide which elements of existential reflection and practical problem-solving to use. She checks in about goals and adjusts the focus as needs and preferences become clearer.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often use the online setting to maintain continuity of care while adapting session pace and focus to what a client needs.
