About Sarah

Sarah Burdett is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 23 years of clinical experience. She uses evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses transitions and coping with life changes, tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs and circumstances. Sarah approaches clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to create a collaborative environment where practical skills and personal insight can grow together.

She brings additional focus to issues such as blended family dynamics, communication problems, family of origin patterns, fatherhood concerns, postpartum depression, and workplace stress. Sessions are shaped around the individual goals and the pace that feels right for each client.

Sarah emphasizes the courage it takes to seek change and positions herself as a supportive guide through that process. She personalizes treatment strategies so they are relevant and applicable to daily life, helping clients develop coping skills, improve relationships, and work toward greater emotional balance.

Online Therapy with Evidence-Informed Approaches

Sarah integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method into an online practice that emphasizes practical skills and stronger relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood, making it useful for stress, social anxiety, and coping with life changes. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for improving communication and managing conflict in close relationships, which can be helpful for people facing relationship or blended family challenges.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and the particular concerns they bring, then tailor techniques and pacing so the selected methods fit the client’s needs and comfort level.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing work on skills, emotion regulation, and relationship strategies from home or another comfortable setting. These options can make scheduling easier and help clients maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
