About Sara

Sara Dupree is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Georgia. She brings 11 years of therapy experience and a long background in school counseling to her work. She talks plainly and focuses on practical steps that families and parents can use right away.

She meets people where they are and helps them move toward clearer communication and steadier routines. Sara helps with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, and depression.

Background and approach

She also supports people coping with life changes like separation, shifts in parenting roles, or midlife transitions. Her approach values the client’s own knowledge of their story and builds on existing strengths. In sessions she uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques.

That means she pays attention to patterns in relationships, listens without judgment, and helps people test practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on dialectical skills and solution-focused planning when situations call for them. Sara aims for straightforward goals and small, doable steps.

Parents often work on clearer boundaries, calmer responses, or better communication with partners and other caregivers. She helps families identify what’s not working and create a simple plan to try new ways of interacting. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Appointments are generally scheduled between 9 am and 5 pm. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling follow the Start Therapy process.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Sara uses attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape reactions and closeness. That approach helps when patterns of distance, worry, or repeated conflict show up in family life.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what the client says matters most. This method helps parents and caregivers feel heard and supported while they figure out practical next steps.

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, is another tool she uses to identify thought and behavior patterns and test small changes. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and workplace stress that affect family functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sara collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine approaches and adjust the plan as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy parents. These formats make it possible to fit sessions into school schedules, workdays, or between appointments. The variety also lets people choose sessions that feel most comfortable for sharing and trying new strategies.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
