About Sarah
Sarah O’Brien is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, parenting and family challenges, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, grief, depression, trauma, anger, panic, and phobias.
She has worked with children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 and with adults. Her practice includes supporting people from the LGBT community and addressing issues tied to attachment, body image, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Sarah also works with concerns such as money stress, control issues, and coping after disasters.
Sarah uses a client-centered approach that encourages people to take an active role in sessions. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral strategies to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She also uses EMDR and solution-focused techniques when these fit a person’s goals.
Sessions are conversational and interactive. People can expect to talk through recent problems, try practical tools, and set small, manageable goals between visits. Sarah aims to work at a steady pace that fits each person’s comfort level.
Her training is reflected in the LPC credential and nine years of practice. She accepts clients from other countries and conducts work in English. Before booking, readers should confirm available session formats and scheduling details.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sarah combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thought patterns and try small behavior changes. Client-centered work means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and the therapist follows their lead to set goals and next steps.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, which is a structured method some people use to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. EMDR can be applied alongside other practical tools for anxiety, panic, and trauma-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust based on what helps. That collaboration helps decide whether more cognitive work, EMDR techniques, or short solution-focused steps are most useful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can also make it easier to continue treatment after moving or when schedules are tight.
