About Sarah
Sarah Knight is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career concerns, and life transitions, including grief and compassion fatigue.
Sarah uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people clarify goals and manage symptoms. She draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep sessions goal-directed and collaborative.
In a typical session she helps people name what feels most urgent, set short-term goals, and practice skills between appointments. Conversations often cover relationships, family of origin concerns, intimacy issues, and communication patterns. Career worries, money stress, and feeling stuck after a major life change are common topics she addresses.
Sarah has experience working with trauma-related concerns, panic and mood symptoms, and worries about identity and life purpose. She encourages straightforward problem solving and mindful awareness so people can reduce distress and increase functioning in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective prompts to map relationship patterns and practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes; this often includes short exercises and homework to try between sessions. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s goals and perspective, using listening and guided questions to help people clarify what they want to change.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That might mean leaning into CBT for panic and mood symptoms, or using attachment ideas for intimacy and family issues, with mindfulness exercises added as useful coping tools.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They also let people use phone-only or lower-bandwidth options if needed. The practical aim is to make therapy fit day-to-day life while working on measurable steps toward the client’s goals.
