Background and approach

She has experience addressing compassion fatigue and issues specific to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum adjustment. Sarah uses brief, goal-oriented methods alongside conversational coaching to help people set realistic next steps. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and uses motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change.

Solution-focused work helps people notice what already goes right and build on small successes. Her background includes working with parents and caregivers facing difficult medical situations for a child, and with young adults navigating major life changes. Sarah has three years of clinical experience as an LCSW in Louisiana.

She offers a mix of challenge and support to help people move forward. Sessions are offered in English and she provides care through several online formats. To begin, Sarah asks each person to share what matters most so they can set clear, manageable goals together.

Approaches that guide online care

Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase stress or anxiety and to try small experiments that change daily routines. CBT is practical and focused on problems people are facing right now.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters most and build motivation for change. This approach is conversational and useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Sarah will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and needs, and then help select methods that feel like a good fit. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new needs appear.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video sessions let people interact face to face when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text messaging make it simpler to check in between sessions or use therapy in smaller, more frequent steps. These options let people fit therapy into their routines without long travel or rigid scheduling.
