About Saja

LCSW in Tennessee and Delaware with 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Saja Mboge focuses on trauma, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and depression. He uses approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide his work.

Mboge listens for what matters most to each person and helps them name the problems they want to change. Sessions aim to identify patterns, test small behavior changes, and practice skills that reduce distress. He blends talking with concrete exercises drawn from his listed approaches.

He has worked across settings that exposed him to military-related issues, immigration stress, and family-of-origin challenges. This background informs how he notices the impact of past events on current moods and relationships. He pays attention to communication patterns, control and codependency dynamics, and feelings of isolation.

In practical sessions he uses CBT techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and DBT strategies to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness practices are offered when being more present helps reduce rumination. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and increase readiness for change.

Mboge describes himself as goal-oriented and collaborative in session. He helps people break problems into manageable steps and checks in on what is working. Language of therapy is English, and his practice is based in Tennessee.

How these approaches are used in online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so goals become clearer. It helps people set the agenda and decide what to work on from session to session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and offers steps to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful when impulsivity, strong mood swings, or relationship conflicts are present.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches in sessions, and adjust methods based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to focus on practical changes.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. If remote sessions are offered, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between activities. Different approaches can be adapted to shorter check-ins, skills practice, or longer therapeutic conversations depending on needs and scheduling.
