More about Sarah
- 4 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a social worker licensed in Texas with 4 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. My therapy style is nurturing and supportive. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, acceptance and commitment and mindfulness therapy. I will customize my therapeutic approach and treatment plan to meet your individual needs.
Growing and changing is rarely easy, and it takes exceptional strength and courage to initiate growth and change in your life. As Nikki Banas says, " Trust that you are changing and growing and becoming so much stronger. Know that you are transforming from the inside out into who you're meant to become. It might take time, it might bring you to your knees, but it will be worth it". I am here to provide support and guidance as you embark on this journey. I look forward to working with you!

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.
