About Sara
Sara Klahr, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and kind, aimed at practical steps that make daily life easier to manage.
Sara uses a client-centered way of working. That means she listens first and shapes sessions around each person's needs. She combines that with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness ideas are used to calm attention and reduce reactivity in stressful moments. With 30 years of counseling experience, Sara has worked in many settings. She has assisted people dealing with family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, bipolar challenges, and other complex concerns.
She also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment patterns, codependency, and guilt and shame. Sara describes her style as genuine, direct, and non-judgmental. Sessions aim to identify root causes of stress and build coping skills that last.
She balances practical problem-solving with attention to feelings and relationship patterns. Sara began offering teletherapy more recently and found it effective for maintaining real human connection. She welcomes conversations about goals and how therapy can fit into a busy life.
If someone wants a clear, steady partner while they make changes, Sara can walk alongside them through that process.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Sara blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to meet real-life problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and shaping sessions around their goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and provides tools to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness can be useful for calming the body and improving emotional regulation during stressful times. Together these approaches are used in a collaborative way - the client and therapist decide what feels most helpful and adjust as work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with tight schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let conversations feel face to face, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while tailoring the format to daily life.
