About Sarah
Sarah Gambill is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with six years of therapy experience. She helps people with family and parenting concerns, coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, and self-esteem problems.
Sarah uses clear, structured steps in sessions. She works with clients to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Then she helps them test different responses and set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on practical skills and short-term strategies as well as planning for the next steps.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches like DBT and mindfulness to teach concrete tools for emotion regulation and problem solving. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used to strengthen motivation and map out immediate, realistic changes.
Sarah has experience supporting people dealing with workplace strain, caregiver stress, attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and pregnancy or childbirth concerns. She also assists with forgiveness work, life purpose questions, and issues specific to women.
She is not currently set up to manage significant trauma or abuse cases. People interested in starting are asked to complete an intake match questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can assess needs and goals.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress or anxiety. CBT sessions focus on concrete skill practice, thought records, and small behavior experiments to try between meetings.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment noticing. DBT skills are useful when intense emotions make it hard to act on values, while mindfulness exercises help build attention and reduce reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will review concerns, goals, and day-to-day routines and then recommend which methods to try first. That plan can change as progress is tracked and new needs emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking.

The therapist will discuss timing and session length during the initial scheduling step to match sessions with a person's routine.
