About Sarah

Sarah Gambill is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside complementary tools to help people navigate family conflict, life transitions, and ongoing stress.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she focuses on practical strategies that break problems into manageable steps and support clearer thinking and action. Her approach blends skill-building with goal-oriented work to address issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and caregiver stress.

Sarah also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to help clients manage intense emotions and build present-moment awareness. She brings experience from community mental health settings and has supported clients facing chronic health challenges and age-related concerns.

While she does not accept international clients, she offers services to people located in Michigan using a range of online session formats. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, helping each person set realistic goals and develop tools that fit their life and priorities.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work

Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance, supporting clients who need tools to manage intense feelings and interpersonal stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and practical needs, then adapt methods and techniques over time to find what fits best for that individual.

Online therapy with Sarah is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and allow therapists and clients to focus on skill-building and progress over time.
