Sarah Fagan , LCMHC

Sarah Fagan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with ten years of professional counseling experience. She works with a broad range of concerns and populations, focusing particularly on family dynamics, parenting and guardianship, friendships and romantic relationships, boundary setting, grief, and trauma including childhood and domestic abuse.

Her clinical experience also includes support for fears and phobias, self-esteem and self-efficacy challenges, depressive and anxiety disorders, autism spectrum conditions and ADHD, health-related issues, healthcare workers, military families, and people navigating major life changes. She is comfortable addressing addictions, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and the many ways chronic illness or caregiving stress can affect daily life.

Sarah strives to be warm, approachable, non-judgmental, respectful, honest, and compassionate while maintaining professional standards. She aims to create a relaxed atmosphere in sessions where authenticity is encouraged and adapts her methods to match each client’s needs and preferences. Her practice is person-centered, strengths-based, and multicultural, and she may draw on techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Existential Therapy, Gottman Method, schema work, mindfulness, narrative approaches, play and filial therapy, and EMDR.

She often incorporates nature, music, creativity, and humor when helpful and invites clients to bring their own interests into the work. Sarah welcomes individuals and families who are ready to explore change and prefers a collaborative, tailored approach to support wellbeing.
