About Sarah

Sarah Tedrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, anger, and related struggles. Sessions focus on practical ways to respond differently when emotions run high.

Sarah draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered practice to build a working relationship that feels collaborative. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness strategies when helpful, and brings motivational interviewing to conversations about substance use and change. The aim is to identify patterns and test small, usable shifts in thinking and behavior.

Her style is straightforward and relational. People will talk through what happens before, during, and after angry moments. Sarah helps name triggers, rehearse new responses, and try short behavioral experiments between sessions. She also supports people handling the fallout from trauma, abandonment, or family transitions.

Sarah has lived experience with long-term recovery from substance use and has professional background that includes work with adolescents and families. That background informs how she thinks about attachment, boundaries, and rebuilding trust after conflict. She encourages steps that fit into daily life rather than overwhelming change.

For people who want a clear plan to manage irritation, resentment, or sudden outbursts, Sarah offers guided practice and feedback. She asks clients what matters most, then helps shape concrete skills and small goals to reduce repeated patterns of reactivity.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape reactions to stress and anger. Online sessions can be used to name patterns that come up in close relationships and to practice different responses to conflict. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration, giving people space to set their own goals and pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple exercises for managing anger in the moment and over time.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sarah will help clients test what fits best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining strategies or shifting emphasis as new situations and results emerge.

Session formats are not listed in this profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and reduce travel time. They also let people try skills in real life between sessions and bring those experiences back for focused feedback from the therapist.
