About Sarah
Sarah Burdett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and major life changes. She also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
Sarah uses practical conversations to help clients identify what is getting in the way of daily life. Sessions often include clear steps clients can try between meetings. She emphasizes straightforward planning rather than long theory talks.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with people navigating family of origin issues, blended family concerns, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, fatherhood issues, and pregnancy and childbirth challenges. Work-related stress and seasonal affective disorder are other areas she addresses.
Sarah draws on several approaches to fit different concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. The Gottman Method informs her work with relationship communication and patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and quick practical steps, and Somatic Therapy brings attention to body sensations when relevant.
People can expect clear guidance on next steps and focused sessions aimed at specific problems. Her style is direct and goal-oriented, with attention to how daily routines affect mood and relationships. Sessions are conducted in English in Pennsylvania and follow the LPC standards she holds.
