About Sarah

Sarah Ansari is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of practice. She helps people notice strengths they already have and use them to meet life’s challenges. Her work is grounded in clear, practical steps and steady collaboration.

She aims to make therapy feel doable even when life feels overwhelming. Sarah mixes approaches rather than relying on one method. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and connection.

Background and approach

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for changing thoughts and managing intense emotions. In sessions she focuses on everyday changes you can make. People often talk about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship strain.

She also supports those coping with parenting challenges, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Sarah likes to explain the why behind techniques, including basic brain science. That helps people try exercises with more confidence.

She also invites regular feedback so the work fits each person’s life and goals. Sessions may involve learning new coping skills, noticing patterns that get in the way, and practicing different responses. The aim is to build practical tools and clearer self-understanding.

Sarah works with each person to find what is most useful for them.

Approaches Sarah names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Sarah uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and make sense of strong feelings and the patterns they create in relationships. EFT focuses on feeling and connection, which can help when emotions feel confusing or overwhelming.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and choose actions that match personal values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck from unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she draws on to identify thought patterns and practice different responses for mood and behavior changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face when it matters. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or family schedules.
