About Sarah
Sarah Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 19 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and low self-esteem.
She begins by listening to the practical problems a person brings. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sarah uses clear, step-by-step strategies to change patterns that keep problems going. She also uses longer-term work when deeper issues need attention.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She also uses client-centered techniques and elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit the concern. That means she pairs structured skills practice with attention to emotions and relationships.
Sarah spent her undergraduate years studying psychology at Texas Tech University and completed a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Webster University. Her training and practice have included case management and individual counseling across different settings.
She has focused much of her clinical work on trauma and sexual abuse, including domestic violence issues, and on the mood and anxiety problems that often follow. Her style mixes solution-focused tools for immediate relief with deeper work when people want that. The first step is a short match questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How CBT and ACT inform online sessions
Sarah integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors through short, practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that respond to skills practice. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to act toward chosen values despite them; it is useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to choose which methods to try first, based on goals, current challenges, and what feels doable. That choice can change over time if a different mix of skills or deeper emotional work is needed.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use skill-building exercises between sessions and practice coping strategies in everyday situations. Licensed professionals can help set a practical plan for scheduling and follow-up that fits the client's routine.
