About Sarah

Sarah Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of experience. She helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting questions, and self-esteem problems.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas Tech University and a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Webster University. She has provided services ranging from case management to individual counseling across her career. Her work has included a focus on trauma, sexual abuse, and domestic violence issues for adults.

Sessions tend to be practical and direct. She uses a mix of short-term, solution-focused techniques and deeper psychodynamic work when it fits the problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy show up in her approach, along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools as needed.

People who come for anger or relationship concerns usually work on clearer communication, recognizing unhelpful patterns, and building new coping skills. For trauma and abuse histories she blends skills work with attention to underlying emotional material so people can feel less overwhelmed by daily life.

Her style is goal-oriented and collaborative. She listens to each person's story and helps map concrete steps forward, whether that means short-term coping strategies or deeper exploration of long-standing issues.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life changes when someone wants more consistent behavior rather than chasing every feeling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for reducing reactive responses, managing worry, and changing patterns that feed anger and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using skills-focused CBT for immediate coping, or combining it with ACT and emotion-focused work for deeper issues.

Confirm the session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Many people choose online work because it lets sessions fit into a busy day, avoid travel, and make steady progress without rearranging too much. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when needed. Ask about current session formats when you set up the first appointment.
