About Sarah
Sarah Serfilippi is a Licensed Professional Counselor with four years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Arizona and Pennsylvania and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship strain. Sarah centers the conversation on each persons strengths and choices, and she offers steady support while people make changes.
Sarah believes the client is the expert in their own life. She listens first and then helps sort through what matters most. Sessions aim to make problems easier to name and handle, one step at a time.
Her approach combines client-centered work with mindfulness and narrative techniques. That means she pays attention to how people tell their stories and to how they notice emotions and bodily signals in the moment. This mix can help when worrying thoughts, old hurts, or repeating patterns get in the way.
Sarah also brings trauma-focused ideas into treatment when past painful events affect daily life. She uses practical ways to reduce distress and to rebuild a sense of safety and control over choices.
People who come to Sarah often want clearer boundaries, better communication, or relief from codependent patterns. She supports those coping with life changes, caregiving strain, body-image concerns, chronic health challenges, and related issues. To begin, a short match questionnaire helps point to a good starting place for care.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and choices. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and body sensations without getting swept away, which can reduce anxiety and reactive behavior. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and finds new ways to frame those stories so they feel less stuck.Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable now. That collaborative planning helps decide which techniques to try and how to pace sessions.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, or allow for quick check-ins on stressful days. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and narrative work between meetings in practical ways that support progress.
