More about Sara
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in Texas with five years working as a social worker, but many years of lived experience. My primary areas of focus include depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief, with specific trainings in EMDR and grief counseling. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor, so we build a treatment plan together based off where you are now, your needs, and your goals. I approach therapy from a strengths perspective as I work with people to build resilience, promote self-determination, and learn effective coping skills. A journey begins with a single step, I would be honored to be able to walk with you as you work to improve the balance of life and the many roles we play.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
