Sarah Calhoun, LPC

Sarah Calhoun is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and effects of trauma and abuse. She also addresses compassion fatigue and supports people coping with major life changes.

Sarah uses straightforward conversation to understand what feels hard right now. She works with each person to shape short-term goals and practical steps. Sessions are meant to be direct and supportive so clients can try small changes between meetings.

In session she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy when those tools fit the goals. Trauma-focused approaches are available for people processing past harm.

Sarah has three years of professional experience in clinical work across a range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, ADHD, addictions, and career transitions. She also helps with specific areas like attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and communication problems.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to what each person needs. Sarah encourages small, measurable steps so progress can be noticed and adjusted over time.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and short homework tasks to build different coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help when feelings feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for longer conversations and teaching skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients send brief updates, work through small tasks, or check in between scheduled sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep consistent work toward goals.
