About Sara
Sara Veldhuizen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of practice who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, and other life challenges. She focuses on helping people understand patterns in their emotions and behaviors so they can make steady changes. Her style is collaborative and reflective, with an emphasis on honest conversation and practical next steps.
Clients often come for help with trauma, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, body image, or mood disorders such as depression and bipolar.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with ADHD, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to adoption or attachment. Sara works with a wide range of concerns rather than a single problem area. In sessions she leans on client-centered listening to create an open space for reflection.
She mixes in cognitive behavioral tools to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness practices are added when grounding and present-moment focus are useful. Sara takes a collaborative approach to goal setting.
She helps people name what matters most, then outlines small, achievable steps to move toward those goals. Conversations aim to deepen self-understanding while building practical skills for day-to-day life. Based in Indiana, she offers remote session formats including video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging.
People who value thoughtful reflection and a clear plan for change may find her style a good match.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. Online sessions let that conversation happen from wherever a person is most comfortable, so the therapist can help clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses concrete steps to notice and change thinking and behavior patterns; in remote sessions this often means working on specific exercises, homework, and quick skill-building between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy offers short grounding and attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, and these practices can be guided during video calls or sent as brief audio or text prompts.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try methods that match their needs, and adjust the plan together over time. Decisions about which techniques to use are made with the client, based on what feels helpful and realistic.
Online formats provide practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work even when life is in transition.
