Sarah BurdettLPC

Sarah Burdett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Sarah writes and listens in a straightforward, respectful way so people feel heard from the first session.

Her work centers on clear, practical conversations that lead to doable steps. She often adapts her approach to the situation, blending evidence-based methods with attention to the body and emotions. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try small changes, and track what helps.

Clients bring many kinds of concerns, from postpartum depression and pregnancy and childbirth issues to workplace stress and social anxiety. Sarah also addresses family of origin problems, blended family challenges, fatherhood issues, and communication breakdowns. She pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation that can make change harder.

Sarah uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to shift unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She may incorporate somatic ideas when emotions are held in the body, and she draws on Gottman Method principles for relationship work. The goal is practical progress you notice between sessions.

Her style is compassionate and direct. She tailors conversation and treatment plans to each person’s needs. Starting therapy can feel difficult, and she aims to be a steady, encouraging guide through that process.

How Sarah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Many of Sarah’s methods aim to change thoughts and behaviors, improve communication, and help people notice how emotions feel in the body. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. The Gottman Method offers practical tools for communication and conflict management in relationships, helping partners slow down and talk more effectively. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, realistic changes and identifying strengths to move toward specific goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to choose and try methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts the plan so sessions feel useful and focused on real-life progress.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use a quieter room, avoid heavy commuting, or join from a more convenient location when scheduling around parenting or work demands. Ask about current session options to find a setup that fits your routine.
