About Sarah
Sarah Tedrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. She works with adolescents, young adults, and adults to address grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in practical steps people can use day to day.
Sarah draws on seven years of counseling experience and a long personal history in recovery from substance use.
Background and approach
She emphasizes building a dependable working relationship first, then tailoring methods to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable changes rather than vague promises. She blends several approaches to fit the person in front of her.
That might mean looking at patterns from early relationships, using cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts, or practicing mindfulness to calm the body. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making changes. In sessions Sarah keeps language simple and practical.
She listens for what matters most to the client and helps them try tools between meetings. People leave sessions with concrete steps to practice and ways to notice progress. Her work also addresses family and attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, codependency, communication problems, and behavioral health conditions like ADHD and bipolar mood symptoms.
Sarah welcomes people who are ready to explore change and want a direct, supportive counselor to walk alongside them.

Approaches that guide online work
Sarah often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and managing addictive urges.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current interactions. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, or repeating family patterns. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find internal motivation to make changes when they feel stuck.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to figure out what fits their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more interactive exercises. Phone sessions can save bandwidth and fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, school, or family life and to keep consistent contact as changes are tried and practiced.
