About Sarah
Sarah Cooper is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and anger. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use day to day to manage difficult emotions and improve how they relate to others.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sarah also draws on Client-Centered and Mindfulness methods and motivational interviewing to help people set goals and stay motivated. This mix supports people facing addiction, grief, trauma, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges.
Sarah helps with relationship and intimacy concerns and with parenting stress. She also works with career pressures, compassion fatigue, and chronic health issues that affect mood and coping. People who have experienced abandonment, adoption or foster care issues, or divorce and separation can bring those histories into work together.
Her style is practical and focused on building skills. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, trying small experiments or behavior changes, and learning ways to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm intense feelings and improve attention.
Sarah takes an active, goal-oriented approach. She helps people set realistic steps for change and checks progress as they go. International clients can be seen, and sessions are conducted in English.
Approaches used in online sessions
Sarah regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT often focuses on concrete skills such as breaking problems into smaller steps, testing assumptions, and practicing new responses to stress and anger.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are practical tools for handling intense feelings, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT for thought patterns, adding DBT for emotion skills, or using mindfulness exercises when attention and calm are priorities.

Talk with the therapist during the first meeting about how to structure sessions so they work with daily routines and responsibilities.
