Hello! My name is Sarah and I have been a licensed mental health counselor since 2003. I have also held many titles such as a certified thanatologist (grief and loss), clinical supervisor, and clinic director. I have worked in many settings besides private practice, including community mental health settings where I often worked with the chronically mentally ill, drug court where I worked together with substance use counselors to help people with addiction, and marital counseling centers where I taught communication skills to couples. I have treated clients who have struggled with depression, anxiety, relationship, and/or family issues, phase of life issues, grief and loss, and I have worked with many adult children of alcoholics and the challenge of low self esteem.
Asking for help takes a lot of courage, and you should be proud of yourself getting to this point of choosing the right counselor for yourself.
I strive to be a safe place for my clients, that they know that they are never judged, only given positive regard and encouragement. I am an interactive therapist, often looking for those "blind spots" my clients can't see are not in their best interest, and bringing them to light so my client can have those"light bulb" moments of new insight into themselves. I often remind my clients in the beginning that change in therapy is not a "drive through" fix, and it takes a commitment from both the client and the counselor to achieve the goals, outcomes, and change the client is wanting.
My approach is very eclectic, learning with years of experience, that different clients learn in different ways. I tend towards the cognitive behavioral, Adlerian, (feelings create thoughts, thoughts create beliefs, and beliefs create belief systems) and psycho-dynamic approaches. I am flexible in my approaches knowing that some clients need a more coaching kind of approach with lots of cheer leading, while others need a more nurturing and gentle approach.
I look forward to building a therapeutic alliance and relationship with you !

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sarah, is a great therapist. She helped me process a relationship break up and assisted me in making strides to look for opportunities to improve.
I really like Sarah. She is a great listener (as I am a great talker!). Our time seems to fly by!
Great
Sarah has approached my therapy with respect and compassion. She has given very good advice and helps me coordinate my care with my doctor. After three sessions I have experienced positive change and plan to continue my sessions.
Great listener, helpful, non-judgemental, really looking to help.
Sarah makes me feel comfortable, validated, and respected. I've only had a few sessions with her thus far, and each session leaves me feeling better.
So very helpful!
Sarah Ross is the best therapist for me. I highly recommend her.
Sarah is understanding and forward when it comes to helping you get better. My work and social life have benefitted greatly.
Sarah was a great listener and asked the right questions to encourage reflection and change.
She listened and was willing to work with my schedule needs as well as provide insight and useful tools to be in a better mindset.
Sarah is very good at what she does! Listens and provides insight when needed. She has helped me realize patterns and habits that may hurt me instead of help me. I am very grateful to have her as my therapist.
Sarah is everything I ever wanted and didn't know I needed in a therapist. She was kind and understanding and I made more progress in a few months with her than I had over multiple decades of depression. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! I am forever grateful for the knowledge and wisdom she brought to my sessions. Thank you Sarah!
