About Sara
Sara Markham is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who brings a warm, practical style to sessions. She focuses on listening carefully and helping people make clear, manageable changes. Sara uses straightforward conversation and gentle curiosity to help clients understand what they want to change and why.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, eating concerns, and workplace challenges. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to sexual orientation.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related worries. Sara draws on client-centered work to meet people where they are and build trust. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
Mindfulness methods help clients learn to notice feelings and body signals without getting overwhelmed. Her sessions also include psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when they fit the person's goals. That means she pays attention to past patterns that still matter now and helps clients set small, actionable steps toward change.
Conversations are guided toward practical tools and clearer communication. With three years of professional experience as an LMFT in California, Sara aims for a calm, collaborative pace. She believes simple shifts in thinking and behavior can open room for better relationships and more confidence.
Her approach centers on building a trustworthy working relationship so people can try new ways of coping and relating.

How Natalie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. In online sessions this means conversations are shaped around the client's immediate concerns and goals, with the therapist following the client's lead to build trust and clarity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anger, anxiety, sleeping issues, mood problems, and compulsive patterns by giving short exercises and clear steps to try between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention to bodily sensations and emotions without getting swept up in them. It can help with stress, self-harm urges, eating-related impulses, and overwhelming emotions by encouraging small, regular practices that calm reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative process may shift as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text is helpful for brief check-ins, nightly mood tracking, or staying connected between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different ways of communicating as needs change.
