About Sarah

Sarah Teague is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who brings seven years of professional experience to her clinical work.

Background and approach

She guides people toward clearer self-understanding and practical progress, drawing on client-centered and solution-focused attitudes alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help address stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma-related difficulties.

Her background includes work across outpatient settings, in-home care, and specialty clinics serving survivors of sexual assault, interpersonal violence, homelessness, and addictions; this variety informs a flexible, empathetic style.

Sarah emphasizes a collaborative dynamic in which the client’s knowledge of their life steers goal-setting and treatment choices, and she seeks to offer a nonjudgmental environment for addressing topics such as body image, self-esteem, parenting challenges, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and sleep problems.

Therapy with Sarah is described by her approach as warm and holistic, focused on practical strategies and self-awareness. She is available for sessions in North Carolina and conducts work in English.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Sarah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, using practical exercises and skills that target anxiety, mood, and stress-related patterns. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her work by prioritizing empathy, active listening, and the client’s own expertise about their life, which supports exploration of identity, self-esteem, and relational concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by helping clients set concrete goals and identify small, achievable steps toward change.

Finding the right mix of methods is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to clarify goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust strategies based on what feels most useful. This collaborative planning aims to align therapeutic techniques with a client’s preferences and real-world needs.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people juggling work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed, helping clients integrate therapeutic work into day-to-day life.
