About Sarah
Sarah Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her work on practical, skill-based support for people navigating addiction, trauma, mood concerns, relationship struggles, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
She emphasizes collaboration, treating clients as the experts on their own lives while offering evidence-informed tools and structured techniques to reduce distress and improve functioning. Her background includes both addiction and trauma-focused care, and she blends person-centered attention with solution-focused methods to help clients identify realistic next steps.
With 13 years of clinical experience in settings ranging from residential programs to court-involved services and shelter-based recovery work, Sarah brings experience working with diverse needs related to substance use, grief, family problems, and emotional regulation.
She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor practical interventions to each client’s circumstances. Sarah’s approach emphasizes concrete strategies, increased self-awareness, and building coping skills so clients can respond differently to old patterns and move toward goals that matter to them.
Approaches that guide online care and what they do
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with coping skills. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels uncertain, assisting clients in exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation for recovery or behavior change.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and then adapts interventions so they fit each person’s situation rather than following a fixed protocol. Clients and therapist decide together what to focus on and which skills to practice between sessions.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care when travel, work, or family commitments make in-person visits difficult, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver structured, skill-focused work in accessible ways.
