Background and approach
Over nearly two decades she has worked in roles ranging from case management to individual counseling, which informs a broad view of client needs. Her Texas LPC credential is part of her practice identity. Therapy sessions are often straightforward and goal-focused.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful patterns and draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify their values. When needed she integrates emotion-focused and dialectical skills to address intense feelings and relationship patterns.
Sarah is experienced addressing trauma, sexual abuse, and domestic violence issues, and she pairs that experience with solution-oriented work when people need immediate relief. She also supports those dealing with caregiving stress, blended family challenges, and aging-related concerns. She listens for each person’s story and works collaboratively to set practical next steps.
Sessions may include skill practice, values clarification, and short-term plans for coping. The overall aim is steady progress toward a brighter, more manageable life. She conducts work in English and practices in Texas.
How Sarah's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take committed actions toward those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by shifting attention from avoidance to meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions and attachment patterns, which can be valuable for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and achievable for the client.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skills demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and a way to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
