About Sarah
Sarah Veale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Her approach is practical and hands-on, with a focus on helping people learn and use skills that make day-to-day life more manageable.
She draws on client-centered work to build a respectful, nonjudgmental connection.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new responses. Mindfulness strategies help people slow down and notice patterns without getting swept up in them. Her career has included inpatient, residential, juvenile detention, outpatient independent practice, and managed care settings across three states.
That range shaped a flexible style that adapts to different life situations and stressors. She has worked with people dealing with mood disorders, substance issues alongside other diagnoses, self-injury histories, and patterns tied to family problems. In sessions she emphasizes teaching and rehearsal of skills between meetings.
She sees therapy as a partnership where time, information, and practice lead to clearer understanding and stronger coping. Her tone is direct but compassionate, focusing on small, achievable steps. Sarah offers a mix of appointment options and checks messages regularly Sunday through Friday.
She aims to respond to messages within about 24 hours and is willing to arrange session times outside the visible schedule when needed.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps when someone needs steady support and a therapist who follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related parenting struggles.Choosing the right approach is a team process. Sarah will discuss what feels most useful and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts techniques so the work stays relevant and practical for daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, live chat suits quicker exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help fit therapy into busy routines and different schedules while keeping the focus on skill building and real-life practice.
