About Sarah
Sarah Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Sarah draws on a mixture of practical and deeper approaches. She uses straightforward, solution-focused work when people need immediate tools. For longer-standing issues she uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that keep repeating.
Her background includes a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Texas Tech University and a Master’s in Community Counseling from Webster University. Over nearly two decades she has provided services ranging from case management to one-on-one counseling.
Sarah has particular experience with trauma, sexual abuse, and domestic violence, and she applies structured methods for depression and anxiety alongside emotion-focused work. She balances active skill teaching with space to understand painful memories and relationship patterns.
In sessions she listens to each person’s story and helps identify practical steps that fit daily life. She encourages short-term strategies for immediate relief and longer-term work when deeper change is wanted. If you are managing the pressures of early adulthood or major life changes, she offers direct support and clinical tools to move forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building small committed actions. It helps when feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unclear about what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression. It is useful for immediate symptom relief and learning new coping strategies. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and processing strong emotions and improving emotional connection, which can help with relationship and intimacy-related concerns.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process means techniques may shift over time, combining skill training with deeper emotional work when needed.
Confirm current session formats before scheduling, since this profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins while others support longer, in-depth work. Ask about session length, pacing, and any preferences for camera use or note-taking so appointments fit your routine.
