More about Sarah
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I'm a licensed therapist in the state of Texas with 9 years of experience working with individuals and families in a counseling capacity. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations including a contact center environment, mobile crisis intervention, and outpatient settings where I worked with individuals struggling with trauma, life transitions, ADHD, anger management issues, family conflict, and mood disorders. My approach to counseling is rooted in empathy, active listening, and a genuine desire to empower individuals to overcome their challenges.
Life is hard and sometimes we need to reach out to others for support and guidance. With the right tools and skills at our disposal it is easier to identify triggers, notice warning signs, and find ways to better prepare for oncoming stressors and challenges. I believe we all have the power to grow from challenges; we just need the right guidance and space to do so. I utilize CBT, DBT, and trauma focused approaches and would love the opportunity to help guide you to feel more in control, more grounded, and better able to face everyday stressors that pop up along the way.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
