About Sara

Sara Corey is a licensed social worker in Texas who brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. She concentrates on concerns that commonly affect family life and parenting, including stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and career challenges. She aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for busy parents and caregivers.

Sara keeps the space direct and down-to-earth. She encourages people to say what they actually feel and thinks in everyday language.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that create repeated problems at home or work. Her work often addresses trauma, grief, mood concerns, attention differences, and issues like self-esteem or intimacy struggles. She blends methods to match each person’s situation rather than relying on a single technique.

That can mean using trauma-focused tools, brief motivational conversations, or relationship-focused strategies. Sara emphasizes collaboration. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps clients set small, reachable goals.

The process is paced to each person’s comfort and family responsibilities. For parents who need flexible options, she offers live video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on the therapist’s availability.

How Sara’s approaches translate to online work

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps people reduce the intensity of distressing memories. It often involves guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation while focusing on a memory to lessen its emotional charge. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns in relationships and teaches concrete skills for managing conflict and improving connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. She treats treatment choices as a collaboration rather than a fixed plan.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video and phone let clients maintain a live conversation when schedules are tight. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or support between sessions. These options provide flexibility for parents and caregivers balancing family responsibilities while pursuing therapy.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
