About Sarah

Sarah Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who brings 19 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She combines practical problem-solving with deeper exploration, drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and emotion-focused methods. Sarah emphasizes helping clients move from distress to clearer, more manageable ways of coping and living.

Her background includes a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Texas Tech University and a Master’s in Community Counseling from Webster University. Over nearly two decades she has worked across a range of roles from case management to individual counseling, developing particular experience with trauma, sexual abuse, and domestic violence.

Sarah adapts her style to each person’s needs, offering straightforward solution-focused techniques as well as more depth-oriented work when clients want to address longstanding patterns. She welcomes conversations about relationship and family concerns, parenting and intimacy issues, caregiver stress, and difficulties with self-esteem, anger, or forgiveness.

Sarah frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help clients identify goals, build skills, and imagine a more hopeful path forward.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide clients toward accepting difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and building committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-centered therapy informs her overall stance, offering empathic listening and collaboration to help clients feel heard and understood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess presenting concerns, goals, and preferences and then tailors strategies accordingly, often combining elements from different methods to fit the individual’s needs and strengths.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and accessible for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limitations. These formats allow continuity of care and regular skill-building between sessions while permitting therapists to use CBT exercises, ACT values work, and client-centered conversation in ways that fit a client’s routine and availability.
