More about Sarah
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience. Most of my experience is in the setting of hospitals and doctor’s offices to support those facing serious, chronic, and/or terminal illness, health care crises, making decisions that arise at the end of life, and experiencing grief/loss. We all need a safe and supportive place to process what arises when facing health and loss experiences of all kinds. I want to be a supportive and compassionate place where you can come in the midst of all you are experiencing.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
