About Sara

Sara uses a straightforward, skills-based approach. She combines client-centered listening with practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and solution-focused steps. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and set small, manageable goals.
Her background includes work in residential treatment centers, homes, and schools. That variety shaped her ability to work with individuals coming from different day-to-day situations. She has experience supporting teenagers and young adults as well as individuals facing school or parenting problems.
Sara holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Missouri Baptist University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Truman State University. Her credential is LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.
Her style is directed by the goals the client sets. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps to get there. Meetings tend to be structured and focused on noticing patterns, testing new behaviors, and tracking progress over time.
How Sara blends practical approaches for online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and prioritizing the client’s goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps clarify what change looks like in daily life. This approach supports people who want to set their own priorities and work at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and experiments to test new responses to stress, anxiety, depression, or anger. CBT is practical for people who want a structured method to change unhelpful thinking and habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara collaborates with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs and goals. She will help the client choose steps to try and will adjust methods based on what works in practice.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Ask which session types are offered when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work, school, or parenting responsibilities.
