About Sarah
Sarah Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She draws on 19 years of experience to guide people toward clearer choices and steadier days. Her work often focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas Tech University and a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Webster University. Rodriguez has provided a range of services over the years, from case management to individual counseling. She has worked with people impacted by trauma, sexual abuse, and domestic violence, and she approaches each person’s story with respect and patience.
In session she mixes different methods to match a person’s needs. That can mean short-term, solution-focused work to solve immediate problems. It can also mean exploring deeper patterns when needed, using psychodynamic ideas alongside skills-based strategies.
She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and a client-centered stance. These tools are used to address symptoms and to help people build new ways of coping and connecting.
Sarah aims to listen first and plan next. She encourages people to describe their goals and priorities, and then she helps shape a path forward they can try in day-to-day life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and stress levels. It often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and reduce conflict. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and collaboratively decide which methods to use. That choice can change over time as goals shift or new themes emerge. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, cut down travel time, and let people join from wherever they are during the day. Some formats are better for brief check-ins or when video is difficult, while others support longer, in-depth conversations. Discussing practical needs and preferences during the first contacts helps shape a plan that fits everyday life.Areas of expertise
