About Sarah
Sarah O'Brien is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young people on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma and anger. Sarah also supports people dealing with self-esteem, depression, life changes, and identity questions related to LGBT issues.
Her style is interactive and client-focused. Sessions center on the person's goals and practical steps. She uses conversation, skills practice, and goal-setting rather than long lectures.
Sarah draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's priorities central. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. EMDR is part of her toolkit for trauma-related symptoms, and Solution-Focused Therapy helps when a person wants short-term, practical change.
In sessions she breaks bigger problems into smaller tasks. People leave with concrete next steps to try between meetings. She pays attention to how parenting, family stress, and daily pressures feed into anger and impulsive reactions.
Sarah works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Sarah commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which helps with anger linked to stress, panic, or low mood. EMDR is used for people with trauma-related reactions; it aims to reduce the intensity of distress tied to past events and can change how those memories feel.She also brings Client-Centered Therapy into conversations, keeping the person’s goals and choices at the center. Deciding on an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses to find what helps most.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking since the profile does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Some people prefer fewer visual demands, while others value face-to-face video for learning new skills. Talk with the therapist during scheduling to pick a format that fits routine and aims.
