About Sarah
Sarah Veale is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 22 years of experience. She has worked in inpatient, residential, juvenile detention, outpatient private practice, and managed care settings. Sarah’s background includes helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood problems, trauma and abuse, and anger.
Her work focuses on practical skill-building. She guides and trains people to practice new skills between sessions. That practice is used to help people notice what changes and to build better ways of coping with everyday problems.
Sarah draws on a mix of client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. Sessions often involve talking through current challenges, learning tools to interrupt unhelpful patterns, and rehearsing small changes that can be tried in real life.
She has experience with issues linked to mood and anxiety disorders, dual diagnosis substance use concerns, developmental delays, family conflict, self-esteem struggles, self-injury, abuse and neglect histories, and personality disorder symptoms. That experience comes from roles across three states and many care settings.
Sarah checks messages Sunday through Friday and typically responds within 24 hours. Her schedule is described as fairly open and flexible, and she can arrange sessions outside the viewable schedule when needed.
Approaches used online and how they help
Sarah uses client-centered work to focus conversations on what matters most to the client, listening and reflecting to clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then develop concrete strategies to test and change them. These approaches help with problems like anger, anxiety, low mood, and relationship strain by turning general concerns into specific skills to practice.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made along the way so that the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
Confirm current session options before booking because the original biography does not list specific online formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats use less bandwidth or avoid video when that suits the client. Discuss format preferences during the matching and scheduling steps so sessions align with daily routines and practical constraints.
