Sarah Peters, LCPC

Sarah Peters focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn out by daily demands. She offers straightforward support for anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes. Sarah’s style is practical and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on skill building and steady progress.

Sarah is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, with 11 years of experience. She meets with people who prefer talk therapy and with those who like to include creative activities such as art or reflective writing. Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills, clarify goals, and reduce distress in manageable steps.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered principles, and motivational interviewing. This blend is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, learn new ways to respond, and build more valued routines.

Sarah also supports people facing caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, intellectual disability-related issues, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety and phobia, and compassion fatigue. She helps with relationship and family issues by focusing on communication, boundaries, and problem solving with individuals.

In sessions she listens, reflects, and coaches practical strategies you can try between meetings. Progress is paced to match each person’s needs, with options for shorter check-ins or deeper work depending on the goal.

Approaches that guide online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and specific problem patterns by teaching concrete skills to test new ways of thinking.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when someone wants to live more consistently with what matters to them, even with ongoing worries or pain.

Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. That approach helps people feel heard and supported while they try new strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as needed in a collaborative way.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and interactive skill work. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share between sessions and receive brief coaching or reminders. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using the approaches above to practice skills and track progress.
