About Helen
Helen Sprague is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She offers straightforward, practical support for people coping with life changes and those wanting to build more self-love and a clearer life purpose. Helen uses a blend of approaches to meet each person where they are.
Sessions focus on small, doable steps that reduce overwhelm. She combines thought-focused work with body-oriented practices so clients can notice both what they think and how they feel in their bodies.
Background and approach
Over 15 years of clinical experience inform her work, but she keeps the process simple. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try new behaviors, and practice calming skills that can be used between meetings. Her style is warm and direct, encouraging honesty and steady progress.
When anger or anxiety feels confusing or out of control, she helps people map triggers and develop realistic coping tools. For those facing big life transitions, Helen helps sort priorities, set small goals, and rebuild confidence. People who prefer a mix of talk and somatic practice often find her approach useful.
She works with adults in California and offers several online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic Work Translate Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include homework between visits to practice new thinking and behavior patterns that reduce anxiety or anger.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the mind and reduce reactivity. These techniques can be guided in a video call or reinforced via short written exercises between sessions.
Somatic Therapy brings attention to body sensations and how emotions show up physically. In online work this can mean guided body awareness, breath work, and movement suggestions that help people notice and shift tension.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That plan can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in quickly or do short progress updates between sessions. These options help make consistent care easier to fit into a routine.
