About Sarah
Sarah Veale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 22 years of experience. She has worked in inpatient, residential, juvenile detention, outpatient private practice, and managed care settings. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and mood concerns.
She has supported people at different life stages, including those with self-harm histories, substance use concerns alongside mental health symptoms, and developmental delays. Much of her work has involved addressing family problems, communication issues, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related concerns. She also brings experience with personality and mood disorders and with impulsivity and anger management.
Her practical style focuses on partnering with clients to build skills that transfer into daily life. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's goals and on mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to develop concrete steps forward.
Sessions emphasize learning and practicing new skills between meetings. She describes therapy as a mix of teaching, guided practice, and feedback so people can try different coping strategies and evaluate what works. Time, information, and education are highlighted as tools that foster understanding and change.
She maintains regular contact patterns and checks messages a couple of times per day, Sunday through Friday, aiming to respond within 24 hours. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How CBT and related methods are used in online sessions
Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, then practice small behavior changes to test whether those changes reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach and focuses on listening and reflecting so the person's goals drive what gets worked on. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared task. She works with each person to identify goals, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process means methods can shift as needs and preferences become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with her about timing, whether you prefer video or phone, and how to structure sessions so they work with your daily routine.
