More about me

Licensing: LMHC Years in Practice: 8 State: Massachusetts

I have over 10 years of experience working with people who have experienced homelessness as well as serious mental health and addiction. I received my Master's degree and went on to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). Besides counseling, I have done a great deal of social work for those who are low-income, facing many challenges including housing stability. My approach is to work at each person's own pace and learn as much as I can about who you are to better help provide support. This leads to providing what treatment approach will work best for the individual (or couple). I also highly draw upon Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for the work I do with clients.

My goal is to provide you with a therapeutic experience that allows you to feel relief and shifts sooner rather than later and to give you a sense of confidence moving forward in both yourself and the therapeutic process. As my client, you can expect to be treated with respect, care, compassion, and have someone walking beside you who will support you in becoming the best version of yourself that feels right, true, and honest to you.

I look forward to meeting you, getting to know more about what is going on in your life right now, and beginning to help you feel better through our time together.

For your reference, my online office hours are Monday-Saturday. Sunday is my personal day and I am not available for messaging or sessions that day. Any messages I receive after Saturday evening will be responded to on Monday. For the foreseeable future, for any new clients I begin working with, I am available via messaging and live chat sessions only (not phone or video).

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Shes the best, she helps me sort through my anxiety moments, with identifying an anxious thought from a regular thought. I dont know if that makes any sense ^, i just woke up after working three 12s in a row. Basically shes the MVP. :D

I was lucky enough to find Sara at a really low point in my life - I was struggling with a job I didn't like and some family issues. My recurring session ith Sara was a HUGE bright spot and help pull me out of the negative state I was in and set me on a path to mental and emotional wellbeing that continues today. I cannot say enough good things about her - she's calm, understanding, and helpful. She always seemed to know the right thing to say, and was ALWAYS available to lend an ear.

Shes amazing at putting me at ease and helping to restore my self image. Ive had a bad self image in my head for quite a while, mostly stemming from family issues and shes helped me turn myself right around. Its great to just be able to unload about things that are bothering me without fear of being judged, which enables me to be completely honest in mistakes I may or may not have made in the situations that Ive been in. If that makes sense. Thank You So Much Sara

Sara has been extremely helpful to me in the past few months. I have been experiencing lots of anxiety navigating a bunch of life changes all at once, jobs, moving, baby, you name it. Sara connected with me and was able to give me excellent guidance and advice to help me deal with my stress in healthier more productive ways. Thank you Sara for being a great counselor!!

SHE GETS ME! No but really, Sarah is a rare find, a real Gem! She wasn't my first counselor but she will now be my forever counselor. She was with me at the lowest of lows and helped me find my way back up to the top. She knows what to do and I hope you're all lucky enough to find a counselor like Sarah.

Overall

Sara Lopes is an amazing counselor, she's extremely compassionate and great with communication and transparency. At first I was a little hesitant to go into therapy, but now that it's ended for me, I feel so much better equipped to handle any mental health issues that may come my way as well as being in a much healthier mindset going forward. Additionally, she's helped me focus on maintaining long-term solutions and goals that are sustainable rather than a simple fix. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is dealing with addictions or stress & anxiety!
