About Sarah
Sarah Fagan is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with roughly ten years of counseling experience. She meets people with warmth, honesty, and a relaxed, down-to-earth style. She aims to build a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients can be themselves and talk about what matters most to them.
Sarah focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She also helps people navigating parenting and guardianship challenges, relationship and communication struggles, and concerns tied to trauma and abuse. Codependency, ADHD, depression, and issues around self-esteem are included in her areas of focus.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions are client-centered and strengths-based, and she adapts techniques to meet each person’s needs. Sarah draws from cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-based thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and existential perspectives when helpful.
She often brings creativity into sessions, using music, nature themes, or humor where it fits. Sarah values collaboration and will invite clients to shape the work, discussing what feels useful and changing course when it doesn’t.
Clients who choose her can expect a practical, flexible counselor who pays attention to values, boundaries, and real-life coping skills. She encourages people who want to start a new chapter to reach out and begin with a short matching questionnaire to see if it’s a good fit.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It uses simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build meaningful action in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and trust, helping people understand patterns in their close relationships and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress through structured practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Confirm session options before booking to learn which online formats she currently offers. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't possible, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use visual or creative materials during sessions and practice skills in the context of day-to-day life. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises and homework so progress carries into regular routines.
