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, 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.
