About Sara
Sara Thompson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and parenting struggles. Sara works in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to support people as they take steps toward change.
She believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. Sessions emphasize practical tools alongside listening and validation.
Background and approach
Sara encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels realistic and lasting. Sara uses a mix of therapy styles based on what the individual needs. She often draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities.
Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. When trauma or intense emotional reactions are present, she incorporates trauma-focused and dialectical-based strategies to help people regulate strong feelings. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and notice what is already working.
Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people facing grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and complex life changes such as divorce or caregiving stress. She aims to create a clear plan each week so people leave with concrete coping steps they can use between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective, with the therapist listening deeply and following what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and keeps sessions focused on practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it offers clear tools to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based strategies are often helpful when impulsivity or strong emotional reactions are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara collaborates with each person to decide which techniques to use, based on their goals and what feels most helpful. She adjusts the plan over time so it stays relevant to changing needs.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice new skills in the settings where they live and work, then review and refine those skills in the next session with a licensed professional.
