About Saju

Saju Abraham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, relationship and family struggles, and parenting concerns. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, bipolar symptoms, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Saju brings 15 years of experience working in outpatient and hospital-based counseling settings. He uses a person-centered style that puts the relationship first.

That means he listens closely and adapts to each person's values and background. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change thought patterns that make emotions and behaviors harder to manage.

Saju integrates methods from the Gottman Method, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and dialectical behavior approaches when they match a client's needs. He focuses on building practical skills people can use between sessions, such as communication tools, coping strategies, and ways to handle intense feelings.

People who meet with him can expect straightforward conversations, goal-focused planning, and paced skill building. He encourages clients to try ideas in their daily life and then review what worked in therapy.

The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Outside of work he lives in Texas with his wife and young daughter and is expecting another child later this year.

He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients by video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging.

Approaches for online counseling and relationship work

He often blends the Gottman Method, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to meet specific needs. The Gottman Method elements focus on improving communication and solving recurring relationship problems through structured conversations and practical exercises. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person's own goals and values, using empathic listening to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That collaborative process includes setting clear, practical steps and checking progress together so adjustments can be made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls let people practice communication skills face to face. Phone sessions can be a briefer option that fits a lunch break or low-bandwidth situation. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching, and ongoing skill reminders. These formats make regular sessions easier to fit into busy schedules and support steady progress over time.
