About Sarah
Sarah Veale is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Tennessee with 22 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship strain, or major life changes. Her approach aims to give clear tools and steady support so people can regain balance and move forward.
Sarah draws on straightforward, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Sessions focus on practical skills - identifying unhelpful thinking, creating small behavior changes, and practicing attention and breathing techniques.
Background and approach
She frames work as learning and rehearsal so new habits take hold outside of sessions. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused ways of working. That means conversations begin with the person’s goals and strengths, then target realistic steps to reach those goals.
Short-term problem solving is blended with deeper exploration when needed so therapy fits what each person wants. Her background includes work in inpatient and residential settings, juvenile detention, outpatient practice, and managed care. That variety informs her ability to adapt interventions to different life situations and stressors.
Sarah emphasizes teaching skills and checking in on how those skills are used in daily life. People who contact her can expect a collaborative tone and concrete homework between sessions. She manages messages Sunday through Friday and aims to respond within about 24 hours.
Scheduling is handled through an online matching and booking process.
Approaches that fit your life and schedule
Client-centered work begins with what matters to the person and builds on existing strengths to set therapy goals. This approach is useful when someone wants a collaborative space to name priorities and steer the work toward what they value.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete steps people can practice between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy invites simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can help during high-stress moments and support long-term emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That collaborative choice guides session structure and homework.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions or live chat can fit a short break at work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing skill practice between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
