About Sarah
Sarah Veale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 22 years of experience. She has worked across inpatient, residential, juvenile detention, outpatient, and managed care settings. Her background includes work with mood and anxiety symptoms, trauma and abuse, self-injury, self-esteem concerns, and family conflict, among other challenges.
She approaches therapy as a partnership. Sarah guides and teaches skills, then checks that those skills are practiced between sessions. She emphasizes time, clear information, and education as ways to increase understanding and acceptance when change is wanted.
In session she uses practical, skills-focused work. That can include talking through upsetting events, learning ways to change unhelpful thinking, and practicing techniques to calm the body and mind. She also helps people set short goals and track progress from week to week.
Her experience covers a wide variety of settings and ages, though the focus in therapy is on the individual’s current concerns and coping. She has worked with people facing mood disorders, substance issues alongside mental health concerns, developmental delays, personality disorder symptoms, and grief.
Sessions are intended to help clients increase emotional understanding, reduce reactive responses, and develop clearer coping strategies. Sarah checks messages regularly and aims to respond within about 24 hours on most days. Prospective clients are asked to use the site’s matching and scheduling steps to start the process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping someone feel heard while identifying what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then teaches practical exercises to reduce reactivity and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce escalation and increase calm awareness.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to try first. Sessions are collaborative, with skills practiced during and between sessions so progress can be checked and adjusted as needed.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making shorter check-ins easier to arrange. This profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current options before booking. The focus is on helping clients use CBT tools, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps in ways that fit everyday life, such as reducing reactive responses at work or home and building clearer coping routines.
