About Sarah

Sarah Mossa is a licensed counselor with twenty years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and addictive behaviors. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for depression, self-esteem issues, career questions, and life transitions. She also addresses intimacy-related matters, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Sarah uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels hardest right now. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings.

Background and approach

She draws on approaches that emphasize relationships, present problems, and workable strategies. Over two decades she has worked with a broad range of people, including members of the LGBT community and those from various faith backgrounds such as Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, and Judaism. That background informs a style that respects personal values and life context.

Her training includes LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor. She holds licensure in multiple states and practices from Illinois. Sarah offers talk therapy by phone and video and aims to build a collaborative partnership.

She works with clients to set realistic goals and track progress over time. If you want practical help with parenting stress or reconnecting with a partner, she can help you sort priorities and make small, sustainable changes.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and expectations, and it helps people build safer, more predictable ways of relating to partners and others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting the client’s own insights so people can find solutions that match their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with specific skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying an idea for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most. Online sessions make regular counseling more flexible. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and do deeper conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between appointments, share updates, or use the therapist’s guidance in real time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, and other commitments.
