Motivational interviewing is used to support commitment to change when someone feels stuck. Sarah adapts her style to each person. She listens first, then suggests simple exercises and ways to try new coping skills between sessions.
She explains ideas in plain language and helps set realistic, measurable goals. With six years of experience as a MS LCSW - Master of Social Work and Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship issues, parenting stress, career worries, and self-esteem. That background informs a practical, paced way of working.
People looking for straightforward guidance and tools often find the sessions useful. Sarah focuses on helping people find clearer next steps, reduce overwhelm, and build everyday skills to handle stress and anger more constructively.

Approaches and online care that fit your day
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead and offers empathy and respect while helping clarify goals and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxious or angry reactions and build healthier habits.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. It uses gentle questions and reflection to boost confidence and clarify personal reasons to try new strategies.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where preferences guide the plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can provide quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
