More about Sarah

13 years' experience
Female
LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping those in need. I graduated from LSU School of Social Work in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and have found purpose serving my community ever since.

I see the counseling relationship as a collaborative effort as well as one based on mutual respect and honesty. I respect my clients' treatment goals and what they feel is best to focus on to improve their quality of life. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, codependency, grief, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, difficulty with life's challenges, OCD, and more.

Using evidence-based practices most aligned with my clients' needs, I help them achieve their treatment goals with support and compassion.

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.
