About Sarah
Sarah Burdett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety, manage relationship difficulties, and cope with major life changes.
Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people find clearer steps forward. She uses a mix of proven approaches to tailor care for each person.
That can include skills to shift unhelpful thoughts, tools to improve communication, and body-based techniques that help when feelings are overwhelming. Sessions tend to focus on concrete strategies that people can use between meetings.
Sarah pays attention to the whole of a person’s life. She often addresses parenting strains, blended family concerns, and patterns that trace back to family of origin.
She also supports people facing postpartum challenges, workplace stress, seasonal mood shifts, and struggles with guilt, shame, or isolation. In session, she works collaboratively to set goals that matter to the individual.
Conversations are adapted to the client’s pace and needs so plans feel realistic and doable. The emphasis is on small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.
Sarah accepts sessions in English and offers several online formats. She aims to make starting therapy simple so people can begin addressing what matters most to them.
How her approaches translate to online care
Sarah often uses the Gottman Method ideas to guide conversations about communication and conflict. This approach focuses on clear, teachable skills to improve how people talk and listen to each other, which can be practiced between sessions to build better interactions.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. CBT offers specific exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build coping skills for anxiety, sadness, and stress-related problems. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit too and concentrates on small, achievable goals so clients can notice progress quickly.
Sarah treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That makes it easier to try techniques and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy work and teaching communication skills, while phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text can support short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing accountability between sessions. These formats aim to offer flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy schedule.
