About Saja
Dr. Saja Mboge is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience based in Tennessee. He focuses on depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. He also addresses related problems such as attachment issues, codependency, and communication difficulties.
He uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Clients can expect structured conversations that look at thoughts, behaviors, and everyday habits. Work often includes noticing automatic thoughts, trying new ways to respond, and practicing coping skills between meetings.
Dr. Mboge draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That combination supports people facing mood disorders, impulsivity, isolation, and stress from family or immigration issues. Sessions emphasize concrete tools rather than abstract theories.
He has experience supporting military veterans and people coping with family of origin problems, divorce, or loss. His approach balances learning skills with space to talk through difficult experiences. Practical steps and repeated practice are common parts of the work.
People typically leave sessions with specific strategies to try during the week. Progress is reviewed and methods adjusted as needed. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details with the service.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Mboge commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often involve setting clear goals, practicing skill drills, and using brief exercises between meetings to test new habits.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting what the person says so they can clarify priorities and feel understood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are included when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities; DBT offers concrete techniques to manage intense feelings.
Finding the right method is part of the first sessions. He works collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person’s goals and preferences, and he adjusts the mix of CBT, client-centered work, or DBT skills as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people maintain regular practice of skills between meetings.
