About Sarah
Sarah Tedrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and major life changes. Sarah writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
Sarah uses a mix of conversational and evidence-informed approaches. She emphasizes building a working relationship first, then choosing methods that fit the person and their goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, exploring patterns, and learning new ways to cope with hard moments. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience and a long personal recovery journey from substance use, which inform her perspective on addiction and relapse prevention.
Sarah draws on creative work and counseling skills to help people connect with what motivates change and to process difficult feelings. In sessions she combines attachment-focused ideas, cognitive techniques, mindfulness, motivatonal interviewing, and a client-centered stance. That means she pays attention to how relationships and past wounds show up now, helps people test small changes, and supports self-awareness through present-moment practice.
Sarah works with people across a range of concerns and prefers to collaborate on a plan that fits each person's life. She aims for sessions that are clear, steady, and focused on achievable steps. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through the initial matching and scheduling process.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice repeated ways of reacting and practice new responses to improve connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions a therapist helps identify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a while, adapting techniques, or combining methods to address emotional, behavioral, and relationship concerns.
Online therapy lets people access counseling through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter updates, processing between sessions, or when someone prefers writing. These options add flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles, while keeping the focus on making steady, practical progress.
