About Sarika
Sarika Griffin is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people navigate relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. Holding LCSW and LISW credentials (FL LCSW SW19612, IA LISW 115284), she integrates trauma-informed perspectives with practical interventions to support emotional healing and behavior change.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related struggles while attending to multicultural factors and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. She emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based approach that centers each person’s lived experience and cultural context.
Using a combination of evidence-informed techniques, Sarika helps clients build coping skills, improve self-esteem, and repair attachment wounds that affect relationships and overall well-being. Her practice also focuses on issues like codependency, family of origin dynamics, control issues, and recovery from sexual assault and domestic violence.
Sarika aims to create a respectful, empowering environment where people can clarify values, develop practical strategies, and work toward meaningful change. She offers flexible online formats and tailors interventions to individual goals, helping clients move from isolation and shame toward greater self-compassion and resilience.
Online approaches for trauma and relationship work
Many of the techniques Sarika uses translate well to online settings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders through structured, skills-based work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relational patterns and how they affect current relationships, helping people understand and change interaction habits that contribute to intimacy and connection difficulties.Choosing the right approach typically happens collaboratively. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then blends methods such as CBT, attachment work, or client-centered support to fit what the client needs. This collaborative process allows plans to be adjusted as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions without travel and to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and convenient access to a licensed professional while tailoring session type to what best suits the client’s schedule and comfort.
