About Sarah
Sarah Gillespie is an MI Psychologist with 26 years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, relationship strain, and anger. Her practice also addresses career questions, self-esteem, parenting stress, and struggles like sleep problems and compassion fatigue.
She favors practical, strengths-based work and focuses on what is already going well for a person. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps people set clear objectives and break them into manageable steps. Feedback is offered when asked, and problem-solving is part of the process.
Her background includes long experience with mood disorders and trauma-related concerns, and she also supports people facing gender dysphoria, substance issues, first responder stress, and hospice or end-of-life topics. She uses a mix of methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and skills-based approaches to reduce intense emotions and improve coping.
Clients who want to build confidence or improve workplace functioning will find a practical focus. Coaching-style conversations about leadership and life purpose are part of the work when relevant. For people dealing with anger, she helps identify triggers, practice new responses, and track progress over time.
Sarah conducts sessions in English and works within the state of Michigan. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people clarify goals and feel understood in the conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings, with concrete strategies to reduce reactivity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. That may mean combining skill-building, coaching-style work, and cognitive techniques over several sessions and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep momentum on goals like managing anger, reducing anxiety, or improving sleep without claiming a guaranteed result.
