About Sarah
Sarah Watt is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She draws on years of work in hospitals, community settings, residential treatment, schools, and outpatient care to support people facing difficult life moments. Sarah emphasizes steady, practical help rather than quick fixes.
Clients meet a therapist who aims to be direct, warm, and dependable. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Sarah often helps people with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, relationship and intimacy questions, and anger. Her clinical history includes work with trauma, dissociation, and recovery from substance problems. That background informs how she structures treatment and safety planning when needed.
She also addresses sleep struggles, parenting strain, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and relationship strain. Sarah uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. She draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, and the Gottman Method.
In practice this means sessions include listening, skill teaching, emotion regulation, and processing of painful memories when appropriate. People who reach out can expect a collaborative tone. Sarah checks in about goals and adjusts methods to match what is most helpful.
She invites a short video or phone chat first so prospective clients can get a sense of fit before committing to regular sessions.

How Sarah's Methods Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the relationship and being heard. In practice this means sessions begin with open listening and the therapist reflecting your concerns back so you feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills; it is useful when strong emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then recommend or combine methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques based on what is working for the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video offers face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging support ongoing contact and brief updates between longer sessions, which can help maintain momentum and practice skills in daily life.
