About Sarah
Sarah Burdett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma concerns, and offers help around parenting and major life transitions. Her approach is respectful and practical, aimed at helping people take steady steps forward.
In sessions she listens first and adapts the plan to each person's needs. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
She also incorporates relationship-focused work and solution-focused strategies to set clear goals and try small changes that add up. Sarah brings years of practice to complex situations like blended family tensions, communication breakdowns, and family of origin struggles. She also supports people facing postpartum challenges, fatherhood issues, and feelings of shame or isolation.
Her background includes helping clients cope with workplace stress and seasonal mood shifts. When trauma and abuse are part of the story she moves at the client’s pace and pays close attention to bodily reactions as well as thoughts. Somatic-aware techniques may be used to help people notice and manage sensations linked to stress and memory.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track small gains. For parents, that can mean concrete strategies for daily routines, communication, and managing overwhelm.

Practical approaches for online parenting and stress work
Sarah often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. CBT sessions focus on clear steps and simple experiments someone can try between meetings.She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to support communication and connection in relationships. That work emphasizes specific skills for turning difficult conversations into manageable exchanges and rebuilding trust through repeated small actions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She discusses goals and preferences, then recommends a mix of strategies that match the situation. Clients help shape the plan and try adjustments if something does not fit.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or quick coaching between sessions. These options let people fit sessions into childcare, work breaks, or other routines while keeping continuity of care.
