About Saja
Dr. Saja Mboge centers his practice on cognitive behavioral therapy while drawing on complementary approaches to help clients navigate difficult emotions and life transitions.
Background and approach
He has 15 years of clinical experience as an LCSW licensed in Tennessee and Delaware, and he focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, and depression. His background includes attention to related issues like attachment and abandonment, family problems, mood disorders, and challenges that can follow immigration or separation.
Mboge emphasizes practical, evidence-informed techniques alongside a client-centered stance that respects each person's story and goals. He works to create a therapeutic space where people can examine recurring patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen communication and emotional regulation.
Over a decade and a half of practice has informed his use of methods such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, narrative strategies, and motivational interviewing to tailor support to individual needs.
Located in Tennessee and credentialed as an LCSW (TN LCSW 10247, DE LCSW Q1-0012883), he offers a measured, empathetic approach aimed at helping people move from crisis or stagnation toward clearer choices and more adaptive routines.
Combining CBT and Client-Centered Care for Online Support
Dr. Mboge commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing mood, anxiety, and problem behaviors; CBT is often useful for concerns like depression, self-esteem, and many mood-related difficulties. He also integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaboration to create a respectful space where a person's values and experiences guide the work.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he collaborates with each client to determine which methods suit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan so interventions fit the individual's preferences and life circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy with him is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and easier access when schedules or location make in-person meetings difficult, allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent, structured care across different communication styles.
