About Sarah

Sarah Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship struggles. She invites people to work together on clear goals and everyday skills. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at helping clients manage immediate problems and build forward momentum.

She emphasizes a person-centered stance, treating clients as the experts in their own lives while offering tools that can make a difference.

Background and approach

Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and short-term plans to handle pressing issues like anger, substance concerns, or parenting strain. Sarah uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work and motivational interviewing to help people make real changes. Sarah has 13 years of clinical experience in addiction and trauma settings.

Her background includes helping people in residential programs, criminal justice settings, and recovery services serving women and children. That work shaped her focus on practical coping skills and relapse prevention strategies that fit daily life. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe difficult stories and identify small, achievable next steps.

This combination supports clients dealing with attachment, family of origin problems, blended family issues, and post-trauma challenges. Clients can expect a collaborative, no-nonsense style that balances listening with actionable strategies. Sarah works with concerns across mood, trauma, relationship, and parenting areas, and aims to help people build clearer routines and healthier responses moving forward.

Online support

How evidence-based tools translate to online care

Sarah integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to change mood and reactions, which helps with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to explore ambivalence and strengthen personal reasons for change, often useful for substance concerns and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Sarah will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That may mean blending CBT skill practice with motivational techniques or using narrative ideas to reframe a troubling story. The plan evolves as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or more frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family life and keep work focused on practical steps.
