More about Sara

5 years' experience
Female
LCSW

Hi there, I’m Sara. I’m here to support you through whatever challenges you may be facing. I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since May 2025 and bring five years of experience in the mental health field. Before joining Betterhelp, I provided individual and group therapy to teenagers in school and juvenile justice settings. In addition, I have three years of experience working with adults in community mental health settings.

I’m passionate about helping people navigate the complexities of life and work collaboratively to reach their goals. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness people reclaim their resilience and grow closer to the version of themselves they aspire to be — and I’m honored to be part of that journey. My approach is strengths-based, and I incorporate techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy.

I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help them reach their goals — whether that means challenging negative thoughts, healing from trauma, improving communication, or simply feeling better day to day. Let’s begin this journey together.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.
