About Lucritia
Lucritia (Ann) Sayles is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who want practical help for problems like anger, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship struggles. She also addresses issues such as addictions, sleep or eating concerns, and career-related stress.
Ann keeps conversations direct and focused. She listens for patterns that feed anger and frustration, then helps people try different ways of responding. Sessions look at thoughts and behaviors, emotional triggers, and everyday habits that make life harder.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s priorities and lived experience. Mindfulness practices build skills for noticing emotions without reacting automatically.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck. Psychodynamic ideas are woven in to look at long-term patterns and how past experiences shape present responses. Together these methods create practical steps someone can use between sessions.
Ann has a background supporting people from multicultural backgrounds and tends to focus on clear, doable strategies. She helps clients set small goals, practice new responses to anger, and track progress over time. For people juggling work, caregiving, or complicated relationships, her approach aims to make therapy fit into everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and what matters most to them. It involves listening without directing and helping clients name their goals. This approach is useful for people who want to feel heard while they sort out anger, grief, or identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches simple exercises to notice triggers, test negative thoughts, and try different reactions. CBT is practical for managing workplace frustration, panic, or recurring anger patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy offers short practices to increase awareness of impulses and urges. Learning to notice rising anger in the body can create space to choose a different action. These practices can be used between sessions to reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match goals, needs, and preferences. That process may change over time as challenges shift and new priorities appear.
