Sarah SaragusaLPC

Sarah Saragusa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and low self-esteem. She also helps with parenting strain, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges related to addictive behaviors. Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable.

Sarah adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She draws on Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical experiments. She also applies Solution-Focused ideas to set concrete goals and track progress.

Over 13 years of practice she has supported people through grief, career transitions, midlife shifts, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder. She also works with issues like abandonment, codependency, blended family dynamics, and communication problems. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings as well as understanding the feelings behind behavior.

Sarah aims to combine empathy with direct tools you can use right away. She encourages people to notice small changes and build on them. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life changes or stuck in repeating patterns, she helps you make practical moves toward different outcomes.

Her work is grounded in listening first, then agreeing on goals together. If you decide to start, expect a calm, straightforward process that balances understanding with actionable strategies.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in close relationships and try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives straightforward exercises to test new ideas and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and sleep changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as needed. Together you decide which tools to use and how to measure progress so sessions feel relevant and practical.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as those details are not listed here. Online therapy can help fit care into busy days, avoid travel time, and make it easier to schedule brief check-ins or longer sessions around appointments. It also allows work on relationship patterns, coping strategies, and behavioral experiments in the context of everyday life.
