Sarah Saragusa, LPC

Sarah Saragusa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or dealing with depression and mood challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, and issues around self-esteem and life purpose.

Sarah favors clear, practical work in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set small, manageable goals. Conversations focus on skills you can try between meetings and ways to notice patterns that keep problems going.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, and solution-focused techniques. That means she looks at thoughts and behaviors that drive symptoms, pays attention to how relationships shape feelings, and helps you identify realistic next steps.

Sarah adapts plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She pays attention to what matters most to the client and adjusts pacing and tools accordingly. Sessions are steady and goal-oriented while remaining compassionate.

People come to her for a range of concerns - from addiction and compassion fatigue to anger, career crossroads, and blended family stress. She aims to help clients build coping skills, regain a sense of control, and move toward clearer priorities.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Sarah commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems alive; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping issues, and mood concerns. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect emotions and patterns, which can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past to decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative planning lets sessions feel tailored and practical rather than rigid.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and more extended conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, on-the-go exchanges and are helpful for people who prefer writing or need quick adjustments between sessions.
