We’ve only had two session so I hesitate to review. However, the first two sessions were positive and a great start. As a result, I already recommended BetterHelp to others. I will continue with Sarah Anderson as well. She is a good fit and the filters to refine my search for a therapist were very helpful in securing one to meet my needs. Thank you!
More about Sarah
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker, independently licensed in Arizona, South Carolina, and Michigan with over 10 years of experience providing therapy to adolescents, adults, veterans, couples, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including various types of trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, drug and alcohol struggles, relationship issues, life adjustment difficulties, low self-esteem and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced thoughts of suicide and hopelessness.
I believe that feeling safe, supported, and non-judged are essential in building a successful working relationship, and treating everyone with dignity, respect, and compassion. You are not a label. We will work together to develop a treatment plan that meets your specific goals and needs. My therapeutic style combines culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approaches using cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, attachment-focused, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and narrative therapy.
It takes courage to build a happier and healthier life. You can do it! You can create the life you've dreamed of, by taking one small step at a time, day-by-day. If you are ready to start your personal journey to feeling better and happier, I am here to support and empower you through the therapeutic process : ).
I look forward to working with you and seeing you achieve your best life!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Sarah is easy to talk with and she helps me see paths to success.
I was nervous about being paired with a therapist at first but I was paired with Sarah and it has been such a possitive experience. She is very easy to talk to, I appreciate her supportive and kind nature, and I am so appreciative of her professional opinion. I really look forward to our session each week.
She is great!! She has helped me tremendously in only two weeks!!
I’ve only had one session so far but Sarah is very easy to talk to and intentional. I look forward to more time with her.
She helped me so much and I am so so grateful for her, she is amazing at her job!!
Sarah is fabulous. She really cares about the people she helps and she's truly compassionate and empathetic in understanding what you're going through. I've had therapy before and have never felt as comfortable with a therapist as I felt with her or as supported. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Sarah is amazing! Phenomenal therapist.
I am a therapist myself and can say that I've been somewhat picky in the past when searching for a therapist. I have stuck with Sarah because she has been super easy to talk to and gave me a safe space to deal with very difficult things I've been going through. She has a way of being honest and direct without making me feel judged.
I’ve been working with Sarah for a few months now and it has made a world of difference in my life. She’s very open and understanding. She’s helped me to gain my own tools so that I may be better prepared for circumstances that I would normally have no positive reaction to. She has helped me to see myself and given me tools to better identify my own feelings. Sarah is amazing, and I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Sarah, does a great job of making you feel secure in opening up about what issues you are dealing with. After a short time, you feel that Sarah and you have been long term friends.
Sarah’s an amazing listener. She’s very soft spoken, and easy to speak with.
Sarah is amazing, she had helped me a lot with managing my anxiety and helping me learn to take care of my needs.
She's wonderful! Very personable, checks in often and feels like an old friend. <3
Sarah respects me and I feel comfortable sharing my life and feelings with her. I’m happy to have her.
She is very understanding and is able to help me understand my responses to situations. I have a deep reflection and learned a lot about myself with her as my therapist. I appreciate her positivity, although it is her job, she makes me feel seen, and heard with a comforting attitude.
two questions i answered wrong. she is amazing and has helped me through so much pain and is very understanding
Sarah is a wonderful therapist
She quickly made me feel at ease, in working with her. Even when she had to ask a tough question, she made me feel at ease about answering the question. An she made me feel that I was not being judged, and that she was just gathering information to help guide me to a better place in my life.
Honestly at first I was very skeptical I was nervous that this was not gonna work for me but already within the first two sessions I’ve seen a difference in myself and I’ve seen a difference in the way that I act and understand myself
She understands exactly what I explain and give me time to express when it's right. I instantly felt comfortable the moment contact was made and that's usually hard for me. But I would definitely recommend Sarah Anderson to a friend. She gives great tips and goals to look forward to. I'm glad I came here.
She has been awesome!
I feel grateful to be able to be working with Sarah and I look forward to more sessions with her.
