About Sarah
Sarah Tedrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a range of emotional and behavioral issues. She brings seven years of counseling experience to sessions and draws on personal insight from long-term recovery.
Sarah speaks English and works with adults and young adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, ADHD, and related concerns.
Background and approach
Her style is direct and collaborative. She prioritizes building a dependable working relationship first. Sessions typically involve clear conversations about what is troubling you, practical strategies to manage symptoms, and steps you can try between meetings.
Therapeutic methods may include attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing can support change when substance use or other habits get in the way. The exact mix is chosen together to fit each person’s needs.
Sarah has training in counseling and in approaches that support recovery and family dynamics. Her approach emphasizes realistic goals, steady progress, and honest feedback. She aims to help parents and family members find clearer communication and healthier patterns.
Reaching out can feel hard, and Sarah encourages small first steps. She supports people who want to address difficult past experiences, improve family interactions, regain stability after life changes, or work toward better daily coping skills.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sarah often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. This approach helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns show up in family life or parenting.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and the actions that follow. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing disruptive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sarah works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together the therapist and client will try strategies and adjust the plan over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging give ongoing support between sessions or for those who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule and to keep continuity during life changes.
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.
