About Sarah
Sarah Burdett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and parenting challenges. Her style is straightforward and respectful, and she aims to make the first step feel more manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.
Sarah uses practical conversation and clear goals to shape sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the plan as needed.
Background and approach
That can mean learning skills to reduce anxious thinking, practicing communication strategies for strained relationships, or working through the aftermath of abuse and trauma. She also supports people through life transitions such as becoming a parent, dealing with postpartum depression, navigating blended family dynamics, or changing jobs.
Sessions include problem-focused work and moments to notice how the body reacts to stress, because feelings and physical reactions often go together. Sarah draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused planning, the Gottman Method for relationship skills, and somatic work to address how stress shows up in the body.
She keeps language simple and concrete so people can use what they learn between sessions. Her aim is to help people build skills for clearer communication, calmer days, and stronger self-connection. She meets each person where they are and adjusts pace based on individual needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sarah often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and many everyday problems. She also uses the Gottman Method to teach specific communication and conflict skills when relationship strain is present. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolbox too and points people toward small, practical steps that move them toward their goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try a few strategies, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Together you’ll decide whether to focus on thought patterns, body-based techniques, practical steps, or a mix of methods.
Online therapy with Sarah can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face skill work and deeper conversation. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it possible to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving between sessions.
