About Sarah
Sarah has been in the field for 20 years. She has worked with individuals, couples, law enforcement, military, veterans, and their spouses. She supports people from a range of faith backgrounds including Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, and Judaism, and she affirms LGBT clients.
Her approach centers on collaboration. Sessions are structured around the goals the person brings and small steps toward change. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused methods to build on what already works.
Attachment-based and client-centered techniques shape how she listens and responds in sessions. These approaches guide the conversation about relationships, caregiving stress, blended family concerns, and communication problems. Motivational interviewing is also part of her toolbox for addressing addictions and readiness for change.
Sarah is licensed as an LPCC and an LPC and practices with experience gained across varied settings. She offers support for people facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, cancer-related concerns, and other long-term challenges. Her work aims to make daily life more manageable and to help people move toward the goals they name.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions using this approach help people look at patterns in partnerships and caregiving roles, and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In video or phone sessions CBT is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try techniques that fit. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
The original biography mentions telephonic and video counseling, so confirm current session options before booking to be sure they match your situation. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. Phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited, while video sessions let the therapist and client read facial cues and practice communication skills together.
