About Sarah

Sarah Burdett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and coping with major life changes. Her approach is respectful and straightforward, aimed at helping people take the first steps toward feeling better.

She uses practical talk and goal-oriented work to address everyday problems. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, so conversations and plans are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. People often bring issues like communication struggles, blended family tensions, or workplace stress.

Sarah also helps with postpartum depression, fatherhood issues, and separation or family-of-origin concerns. She pays attention to feelings such as guilt, shame, isolation, and social anxiety, and she supports clients through transitions like pregnancy and seasonal mood shifts. Her background includes long-term work with trauma and post-traumatic stress.

Therapy may include strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses solution-focused methods to set small, achievable goals and somatic ideas to notice how the body holds stress. The Gottman Method guides work on relationship patterns when couples or partners want clearer communication.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. Sarah aims to help people find clearer priorities, better coping tools, and more balanced day-to-day routines. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching and scheduling process.

How her approaches shape online work

Therapy often combines methods that help both thinking and feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and stress. The Gottman Method looks at how partners interact and offers concrete skills for clearer communication and conflict management.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful for the person's needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist work together to decide which approaches to emphasize.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can still make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from other convenient locations. It can also make shorter check-ins or focused skill-building sessions simpler to schedule. Ask about how sessions are structured when you set up the appointment so timing and format match daily life.
