Sarah Saragusa

Sarah Saragusa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and problems with self-esteem. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for anyone ready to begin. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage in each person who reaches out.

She shapes conversations and plans around the individual’s needs. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings. She draws from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice how thoughts and behaviors connect. Attachment-Based methods help address patterns that come from important relationships and early experiences.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past wounds affect daily life and safety. Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term goal setting and steps toward change. Sarah blends these methods to match what a person needs right now rather than sticking to one technique.

Her work covers a wide range of life stresses, including grief, parenting strain, work and career pressures, and struggles with intimacy or commitment. She also supports concerns such as addiction, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue for caretakers.

People can expect clear, direct conversations that aim for small, manageable changes. Plans are revisited as progress is made. If you want to start, the process begins with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button.

How these approaches work for online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns influence feelings and behavior today. Online conversations can be used to uncover attachment issues and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It works well for anxiety, mood problems, anger, and stress management and lends itself to homework between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision can shift over time as progress is made or life circumstances change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce commuting time. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and comfort so sessions can be arranged in a way that supports steady progress.
