Sarah Burdett, LPC

Sarah Burdett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Her approach is calm and practical and aimed at helping people take manageable steps forward.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with tools from the Gottman Method, solution-focused work, and somatic approaches. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and practice small changes that add up. She also listens for the impact of the body and emotions when trauma or intense stress is present.

Sarah adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She pays attention to communication problems, blended family dynamics, and family of origin issues when those things matter to the concern at hand. Parenting-related topics she addresses include fatherhood issues, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth, and everyday parenting strain.

She also works with workplace stress, social anxiety, isolation, guilt and shame, seasonal affective disorder, and self-worth concerns. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on practical strategies that fit daily life. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier reactions, and better ways of coping.

Sarah invites people to take a first step when they are ready. She will collaborate on goals and check progress so work in therapy matches what is most important to each person.

How Sarah blends practical approaches online

Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that change how they feel. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and many everyday problems because it focuses on clear steps and practice.

She also draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and improve communication. Gottman-informed work focuses on specific skills for listening, repair, and rebuilding trust in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sarah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suits quick check-ins or written reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy days while keeping the focus on steady progress.
