Sarah Soto , LPC

Sarah Soto is a Licensed Professional Counselor with six years of clinical experience who brings a person-centered, integrative, and eclectic style to her work. She has supported people facing intense trauma, psychological crisis, addiction, anxiety, depression, stress, struggles with self-image and interpersonal relationships, and the ordinary challenges of life. Her training includes EMDR, mindfulness practices, and DBT, along with specialized work in sexual trauma and addictions. She has worked with clients across diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, ages, and life stages, and she advocates for queer and gender non-conforming individuals.

Sarah holds a Masters Degree in Counseling and two bachelors degrees in English and in Radio, Television, and Film. She is nationally certified in counseling and maintains her license as a Licensed Professional Counselor. In sessions she emphasizes authenticity, presence, and a collaborative relationship, beginning treatment by attending to the person, their energy, the immediate issues, intuition, information, and goals. Change is framed as both scientific and artistic, visible in small and large victories, shifts in behavior, and evolving insight.

Her style is practical and experiential - she uses breathing exercises, guided meditations, visual aids, and skills practice when appropriate. She values patience, empathy, humor, and immediacy, and she approaches therapy as an ongoing partnership in which therapist and client work together to understand patterns, set goals, and create a more resilient, intentional life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapeutic Support

Sarah Soto draws from evidence-based methods to guide online sessions, including EMDR and mindfulness-based work. EMDR is a structured approach that helps the brain process and reduce the intensity of disturbing memories, often used for trauma and abuse-related distress. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and improve stress and anxiety management.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills into online work, teaching practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. These approaches are presented in clear, accessible ways so clients can practice skills between sessions and notice incremental change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah adapts techniques to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and works with clients to determine which methods feel most helpful. Licensed professionals should tailor treatment over time, and this therapist emphasizes partnership in deciding next steps.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into life, access consistent support, and continue skill practice with the guidance of a therapist.
