About Sarah

Sarah Saragusa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, mood struggles, grief, trauma, and relationship or parenting concerns. She aims to meet people where they are and make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

Sarah keeps conversations direct and respectful. She uses clear, practical language and tailors each plan to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what is most pressing, whether that is getting better sleep, managing panic, or working through loss.

Her background covers 13 years of practice in community and clinical settings. That experience has included supporting people through addiction, bipolar mood patterns, compassion fatigue, and life transitions like divorce or career change. She also addresses issues such as attachment, codependency, and isolation when those come up.

Sarah draws on a mix of approaches to match the problem and the person. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and abandonment fears are central.

Her style is collaborative and solutions-oriented. People can expect practical strategies and concrete steps between sessions. The therapist works to make goals achievable and to adjust plans as needs change.

How Sarah's methods translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how past and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. It looks at patterns such as fear of abandonment or closeness and helps people try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more useful ones. It often includes concrete exercises and short experiments between sessions, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable, then try methods that match those needs. That collaboration helps adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities shift.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, let someone check in during a shorter break, or choose a quieter setting that supports focus. Licensed professionals can still use practical tools like sleep routines, thought records, and brief behavioral experiments when meeting remotely, and these can be tailored to everyday life.
