About Sarah
Sarah Nare is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 30 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, and the effects of trauma. She uses a calm, practical style to guide people toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life problems and small steps forward.
Sarah listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating, such as attachment or communication habits.
Background and approach
She helps clients name what is happening and try new ways of responding. Work often includes building better coping skills, reducing overwhelming reactions, and repairing trust or communication where it has frayed. She pays attention to caregiver stress and the heavy guilt or shame that can follow traumatic experiences.
Conversations aim to reduce isolating thoughts and replace them with manageable strategies people can use day to day. The pace is set by the person in therapy, with time for reflection and active skills practice. Sarah combines straightforward talk with evidence-based techniques that fit each person’s needs.
She emphasizes collaboration so clients leave with tools they can use between sessions. Her goal is to help people feel more capable, connected, and able to handle life’s demands. Based in California, she conducts sessions in English and offers a range of online formats for flexibility.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client.
How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy
Sarah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like anxiety, trauma symptoms, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress. One approach focuses on learning concrete coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress in the moment, helping people interrupt panicking thoughts and steadier their reactions. Another method centers on communication and attachment patterns, helping clients notice relationship habits, practice different responses, and improve closeness or boundaries over time.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds. Clients help set the pace and choose which strategies to try between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief skills coaching, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These choices make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and daily life.
