I am incredibly grateful to have Sarah as my therapist. Her patience and unwavering support have been instrumental in my personal growth. I appreciate how she holds me accountable while also using gentle, compassionate language. When I first started with BetterHelp, I struggled with consistency and frequently changed therapists. However, when I began working with Sarah, everything changed. Initially, we communicated via messages, and she gave me the space I needed without judgment. As I became more open and moved to video chats, my consistency improved. Now, we connect several times a month, and her support has been crucial to my development. I don't say it enough, but I am truly thankful for her.

Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage and I applaud you for taking the first step.

I enjoy working with my clients is a private non-judgmental setting and encouraging them to be their best selves. I have worked with a range of different clients and through hard work and patience they have made progress in their personal lives. There is no better feeling in the world than seeing your client make meaningful progress and make positive changes in their lives. I like to describe my style as solution focused while taking the time to understand your emotions and feelings throughout this process. Each person is unique and I like to spend time getting to know you as an individual as we work together.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been work volunteering and working as a social worker for over 10 years. I completed my Bachelors degree at Florida State University and completed my Masters degree at Barry University in Miami, majoring in Social Work for both. Currently I live in South Florida with my two large dogs and enjoy the beautiful warm weather.

I look forward to getting to know you and being by your side through this process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sarah is incredible. She is a kind listener who helps guide you in healthy direction while being kind, insightful and understanding. As a therapist, she gives the questions you never thought about that help you further understand yourself and the situation you are in, allowing you to come to a deeper understanding yourself instead of just tell you how to feel. Also she will always reply back to promptly and efficiently, every time. This was my first time working with a therapist and I couldn't ask for a better guide. Highly recommended, especially for first timers.

Sarah has been an outstanding support to me though a difficult period. She seemed to understand where I was at and what I was struggling with almost immediately. I’m just a few short weeks she has helped me work through some very difficult emotions, and provided me with helpful tools to get me though some difficult situations.

Sarah is an outstanding professional. She is not only extraordinarily attentive, caring and thoughtful as a therapist but her advice is always incredibly insightful and adapted to the situation, thought or question we might be discussing. She does not just listen, she prompts and guides the conversation and will chime in with little questions or notes to help you processing and formulating sometimes complex thoughts and feelings. She will provide relevant and relatable examples and anecdotes to help you understand your own situation from multiple angles and filters and follow up with advice or ideas for you to take action. She is a wonderfully kind and empathetic and smart, and deserves all the praise as a BetterHelp professional. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Spiro has been a pleasure to work with. She asked me the right questions that itself lead me to unravelling the solutions to my obstacles, therefore making it insightful, thought-provoking, empowering too. I felt she respected, organized and re-articulated my thoughts and processes--giving acknowledgement and encouragement along the way. I had questions also, and she was upfront and clear about what she could assess and what she was not in a position to. Such clarity is positive. I would definitely recommend Dr. Spiro and the better health platform to anyone looking to better their mental and emotional health and work through their difficult life situations in a healthy and wholesome way.
