About Sarah

Sarah Serluco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) licensed in Georgia with three years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, sleep troubles, parenting stress, and life changes.

Her approach is practical and strengths-based. She uses solution-focused methods and draws on client-centered principles to help people notice patterns and try different behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used when helpful to manage emotions and reduce unhelpful thinking.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Sarah helps clients set small steps and practices they can use between meetings. Motivational Interviewing techniques are used to explore ambivalence and support change without pressure.

She brings personal life experience to her practice and emphasizes skill-building over labels. That means working on concrete actions - communication skills, coping strategies for anger, and routines that support better sleep and mood.

People who come for help with relationship woundings, fertility stress, codependency, or work-related burnout will find an emphasis on clear next steps. Sarah also addresses complicated issues like co-morbidity, addiction, and ADHD by combining practical strategies from several approaches.

To begin, clients answer a short questionnaire and schedule a first session where goals and a plan are discussed.

How therapeutic approaches are used in remote sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client guide the conversation. In remote work this means the therapist follows the client's priorities and reflects back what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and actions with concrete exercises. Online CBT sessions often include short homework tasks to try between meetings, such as tracking thoughts or testing new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT skills practice can be reviewed in a session and applied to anger, relationship strain, and stress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals and preferences. This means discussing what feels useful in early sessions and adjusting methods if something isn’t helping.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone use phone or lower-bandwidth options if that better matches their daily routine. The focus remains practical: skills to manage anger, steps to improve sleep and mood, and strategies for handling relationship conflict while fitting sessions into everyday life.
