About Tommie
Dr. Tommie Saragas is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and coaching needs, and she lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what each person needs. Conversations focus on identifying strengths, naming the problems that keep someone stuck, and trying concrete strategies that can be used between meetings.
Tommy talks through relationship issues, communication problems, blended family stress, and separation concerns in direct terms. She also addresses caregiver stress, workplace pressure, body image, and feelings of isolation. Forgiveness, self-love, and life purpose are raised when relevant to the client's goals.
Clients can expect a straightforward approach that leans on tested methods while staying practical. The work often includes setting small, achievable steps and checking how those steps fit into daily life. The emphasis is on clarity, skills people can use, and realistic pacing.
She frames grief and loss in ways that make space for both emotion and action. For people carrying guilt or shame, the focus tends to be on understanding what those feelings are doing now and on finding manageable ways to respond. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Dr. Saragas draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses helps people learn skills for managing strong emotions and reducing anxiety through steady, small steps and practice. Another approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding to relationship stress, grief, or workplace pressure.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals, pace, and life demands. That choice is reviewed over time so methods can shift as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often find that meeting remotely helps people attend more consistently and try strategies between sessions in the settings where they live and work.
