About Lucritia
Lucritia (Ann) Sayles is a licensed independent mental health practitioner who helps people dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She offers straightforward support for everyday struggles and larger emotional challenges. Her approach is calm and practical, aimed at helping clients feel steadier in daily life.
Ann centers sessions on the person in front of her. She listens first, then helps clients name what matters most. Conversations lead to simple tools people can use between sessions, like breathing practices, thought checks, and small behavior changes that build confidence over time.
Background and approach
Her work draws from several well-known therapy styles, including client-centered methods that emphasize the client's perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and actions, and mindfulness practices that teach focused attention. She also uses motivational interviewing to help with change and some psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns from the past. Ann brings 14 years of experience as a therapist in Nebraska.
She describes her care as culturally responsive and mindful of diverse backgrounds, and she supports people whose lives are affected by trauma, mood disorders, addictions, relationship challenges, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in different online formats.
Ann accepts international clients and works with individuals who want practical ways to manage emotion, improve relationships, and move through difficult life events.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ann uses client-centered methods that focus on the person’s own goals and experience, creating space for people to be heard and to decide what changes matter most. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, anger, and mood symptoms by teaching practical skills for shifting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ann will work with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts tools as progress or obstacles emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can fit quick check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep continuity in care and fit therapy into work, travel, or caregiving routines.
