About Sarah
Sarah Knee is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, practicing in California with five years of clinical experience. She works with people who come for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Sarah also supports those dealing with control issues, divorce and separation, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.
Sarah views each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on in therapy. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract ideas. People can expect direct conversation about what is causing difficulty and practical ways to test different responses in everyday life.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She listens to what matters most, then prioritizes goals with the person in front of her. The work can include skills practice, problem-solving, and checking what does and does not help between sessions.
Sarah has five years working with adults in clinical settings and private practice. That experience includes supporting people after trauma and during major life changes such as separation and pregnancy. She draws on methods that are evidence-based and aims to translate them into straightforward actions.
People who are nervous about starting therapy often begin with a short plan and a clear first step. Sarah helps create that plan and reviews progress regularly. If someone wants to try therapy, she asks them to describe their main concern and a small goal for the first sessions.
How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Sarah draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate into clear actions. One commonly used approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to test them; this is useful for anxiety, low mood, and social fears. Another approach focuses on developing skills for managing stress and responses after trauma, including grounding and regulated breathing to reduce overwhelm.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Sarah approaches treatment collaboratively and will help the client choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level. She reviews progress and adjusts methods as needed so the plan stays relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
