About Sarah
Sarah Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with six years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters to them.
Her style is relaxed and welcoming. She aims to treat each person with respect and compassion while focusing on practical steps. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed formula.
Sarah draws on several approaches to tailor care. She uses client-centered work to follow the person’s priorities and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also includes solution-focused strategies to set clear goals and trauma-informed methods when past harm is affecting present life.
Clients can expect short-term tools and longer-term coping skills. Sarah pays attention to relationships, self-esteem, anger, and career concerns alongside issues like adoption, caregiving stress, body image, and grief. She supports people navigating LGBT concerns and those recovering from abuse or domestic violence.
Therapy sessions are collaborative. Sarah listens first, then helps people try out changes and measure progress. She encourages small experiments between meetings to test new ways of coping and communicating.
Approaches used in online therapy and how they help
Sarah often uses client-centered work, which focuses on listening closely to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around their priorities. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to sort their thoughts and decide next steps.She also regularly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way, and then tests small changes to improve mood and functioning. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts plans as progress is seen or goals change.
For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also suggest exercises to practice between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
