Sarah Veale, LPC

Sarah Veale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 22 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, bipolar mood shifts, self-harm thoughts, and problems with self-esteem and intimacy.

Sarah has worked in many care settings over two decades, including inpatient and residential wards, juvenile detention, outpatient practice, and managed care. That variety means she has seen a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Her background includes work with mood and anxiety symptoms, substance use concerns alongside other diagnoses, developmental delays, histories of abuse and neglect, and personality challenges.

In sessions she takes a practical, partnership approach. She guides people through learning skills and practices, then checks that those skills get used between sessions. She focuses on clear, teachable steps so people can notice change in daily life and handle setbacks more confidently.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. That mix lets Sarah tailor each plan to a person’s goals and needs instead of using one fixed method.

Sarah aims to be reachable and responsive. She monitors messages Sunday through Friday and typically replies within 24 hours. People who want a steady, skill-based approach to emotional challenges may find her style a good fit.

How Sarah’s Approaches Work Online

Sarah often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change patterns of thought and behavior that increase stress or depression. CBT breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical tools for coping and problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy is another influence; it focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions through understanding and support.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether CBT, client-centered work, mindfulness practices, or brief solution-focused steps are the best way forward and adjust as needed over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video is good for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, skill practice, or scheduling between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain steady progress.
