About Sarah
Sarah Burdett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, and adjusting to major life changes. Sarah aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk through what feels hard right now.
She draws on proven methods to help people manage symptoms and build practical skills. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, problem-solving, and coping tools that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
For relationship strain she uses approaches that help partners understand patterns and improve how they talk to one another. Sarah also works with people recovering from traumatic experiences and those navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or fatherhood transitions. She pays close attention to feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and social anxiety.
Work with her can include exploring family of origin issues and blended family challenges. Her approach mixes cognitive techniques with solution-focused planning and somatic awareness. That means clients learn ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts, try small goal-oriented changes, and notice how stress shows up in the body.
Sarah adapts the plan to each person’s goals and pace. Sessions are offered in English and take place online using a range of formats. People who choose therapy with her will find a practical collaborator who listens, responds with compassion, and helps create clear next steps.
Approaches for online work and practical tools
Sarah often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and stress. The Gottman Method is used for relationship work and centers on improving communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding connection between partners.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences, and which strategies feel most useful. Together they try methods, adjust as needed, and set small, achievable steps to measure progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when that helps with connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to schedule during a busy day. Live chat and texting offer brief check-ins, messaging between sessions, and a flexible way to share updates or practice skills without a full session.
