Sarah Roe , LCSW

Sarah Roe is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 34 years of experience in the behavioral health field. She has practiced in a range of settings, from community mental health centers to private practice, and has supported people facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, codependency, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger and stress management, among other concerns.

She has received training in evidence-informed models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Wellness Management and Recovery. While technical skill and knowledge guide her work, she places equal value on the human connection that makes therapy effective. She recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to meet each person with empathy, respect, and genuine interest.

Sarah operates from a set of guiding principles that shape her collaborative style - each person is doing the best they can with what they know, problems often reflect missing skills or awareness rather than personal failure, and solutions are discovered from within the individual. She does not position herself as a distant expert but as a knowledgeable guide who partners with clients to find practical paths toward healing, health, and recovery.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward a meaningful life. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance limits wellbeing.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that developed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. It can be particularly helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and attachment-related distress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional acceptance, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship. This approach supports people who need a nonjudgmental space to explore identity, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the most effective approach is part of the therapy process. Sarah Roe works collaboratively with clients and with input from licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the approach over time.

Online sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access ongoing support from home or other convenient locations. These options help people maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into busy or changing lives.
