About Sarah

Sarah Saragusa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady conversation rather than jargon. Her approach is direct and pragmatic for people who want clearer ways to manage feeling overwhelmed.

She uses a mix of methods that match the problem at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts that fuel strong reactions and replace them with healthier patterns. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships show up now and affect trust and closeness. Solution-focused strategies help set short-term, achievable goals so progress is visible.

In sessions she talks through current struggles, helps people spot triggers, and practices alternatives to old habits. Work often includes small homework tasks and simple skills to try between meetings. She pays attention to patterns that keep problems repeating, such as avoidance or all-or-nothing thinking.

Sarah describes therapy as collaborative. She listens first, then suggests methods that match a person's needs and preferences. Over time clients build tools for managing anger, mood shifts, sleep disruption, and relationship tension.

Her practice reflects experience with issues like grief, parenting strain, career stress, codependency, and midlife changes. People who want concrete strategies and steady guidance may find this style useful.

How sessions work

How her methods translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to identify relational triggers and practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts that lead to strong emotional reactions and testing new responses; it works well for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns and often includes specific exercises to do between sessions.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist listens to current struggles and goals, then recommends methods to try. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted based on what helps most, so the work stays practical and goal-oriented.

The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit into busy schedules more easily, for example making it simpler to have brief check-ins during a work break or to avoid travel time. Online meetings also make it easier to practice skills in everyday settings and to review short homework tasks between appointments.
