About Sarah
Sarah Serfilippi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She has four years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and depression. She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and aims to offer steady support while people make changes.
Clients can expect straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. Sarah focuses on listening closely, asking useful questions, and helping people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
She works to build on existing strengths rather than start from scratch. Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and issues around commitment or codependency. She also helps people cope with chronic pain, illness, caregiver stress, body image worries, and the fallout from separation or divorce.
These topics are handled with attention to each person’s story and goals. Therapeutic methods include client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative approaches, and trauma-focused strategies. Sarah explains tools plainly and practices them together with people so skills can be used between sessions.
Progress is treated as gradual and practical changes are prioritized. For those beginning therapy, she invites a collaborative approach: you describe what matters, set realistic goals, and decide the pace. The emphasis is on steady progress, clearer choices, and rebuilding confidence over time.
Approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy starts with open listening and follows your lead to identify what matters most. It helps people feel heard and build on strengths through regular conversation and reflection.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away. These skills can reduce anxiety and help with stress management when practiced during and between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper discussion and visual connection, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text allows ongoing reflections between meetings. These options help fit therapy into work days, caregiving schedules, or when travel is difficult.
