About Sarah
Sarah Burdett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.
Sarah uses practical conversation and clear goals in sessions. She focuses on what is going on now and what steps a person can try between meetings. Sessions are straightforward and solution-oriented, with attention to how feelings show up physically when that is helpful.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to build on what already works in someone’s life. For relationship concerns she applies ideas from the Gottman Method to improve communication and manage conflict.
Sarah’s background includes long experience with family-related concerns such as blended family issues, fatherhood questions, and family of origin problems. She has worked with people facing postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth stresses, and workplace difficulties. Social anxiety, isolation, guilt, and shame are also areas she addresses.
In sessions she talks through practical skills and small steps clients can try. She pays attention to how stress affects daily routines and relationships. People who choose her often want clear strategies and steady support while they make changes.
To begin, a simple intake process gathers current concerns and goals. That helps set short-term targets and next steps for therapy.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in sessions. CBT helps people recognize links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then practice different responses. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on building what already works in someone’s life. Both approaches suit common young adult concerns such as anxiety, work stress, relationship conflict, and feeling stuck after big life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will discuss goals and preferences and try approaches that fit the client’s needs. That collaborative process means experiments and adjustments over the first few sessions to find what feels most useful.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can be convenient for fitting therapy into study or work days, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular check-ins. Some formats can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better fits a schedule or bandwidth. Ask about current session options during the matching and scheduling steps so arrangements match everyday life.
