Sarah Watt, LMHC

Sarah Watt is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 15 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, anger, relationship concerns, and related struggles. She also supports people facing issues like ADHD, low self-esteem, career changes, and intimacy problems.

She trained in counseling after earning a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 2003 and a master’s degree in counseling in 2007. Her clinical background spans inpatient hospital settings, community mental health, residential treatment, in-school therapy, and outpatient care. She opened a private practice in Florida in 2017 and has worked extensively with trauma, dissociation, and addiction concerns.

In sessions she uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior approaches. She also draws on client-centered work, trauma processing methods, and relational tools to address attachment and intimacy difficulties. Conversations tend to focus on practical skills, patterns that get in the way, and steps clients can try between sessions.

People who prefer clear, direct therapeutic work often find this approach useful. She emphasizes the relationship as central and is willing to speak by phone or video so prospective clients can check the fit. That first conversation is used to clarify goals and decide which techniques to prioritize.

Sarah aims to help people reduce the hold of overwhelming feelings and build more manageable ways of responding. For someone worrying about snap reactions, simmering resentment, or anger that affects work and home life, she offers concrete strategies alongside trauma-informed care.
