About Sara

Sara Love is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for parents and individuals facing stress and life transitions. She uses straightforward conversations to identify what is most pressing and to set small, achievable goals. Her approach aims to make therapy feel doable, not overwhelming, for someone juggling family and daily responsibilities.

Sara has five years of professional experience practicing in New Mexico as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Background and approach

She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, low self esteem, and major life changes. Sessions are set up so clients can speak openly and honestly without feeling judged. In a typical session she listens first and then works with the person to try new ways of coping.

That can mean trying mindfulness exercises, telling the story of a problem differently, or focusing on quick, practical steps that make home life easier. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. Sara emphasizes a calm, accepting tone and a clear plan.

She supports clients through loss and the messy parts of parenting, and she helps build confidence one step at a time. Her goal is to help people leave sessions with one or two things they can try before the next meeting. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment through the site's booking process.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In online sessions this means the therapist centers the client's concerns, reflects what is said, and helps the client decide what matters most. It is useful when someone needs a calm space to sort through emotions and choices.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief exercises to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment. These practices help with anxiety and stress and can be done during video or phone sessions, then practiced between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps that can lead to quick improvement. It helps people try short experiments at home and report back what worked.

Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match goals and preferences. That way sessions are tailored, not one-size-fits-all, and can change as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options give flexibility for parents and busy people who need therapy around work and family time. They also let therapists use short check-ins, share exercises, and adjust frequency to fit a client's schedule.

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.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
