About Sarah
Sarah Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside mood, trauma, and addiction-related issues. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping parents and family members find practical ways to cope. Sessions emphasize clear skills, steady support, and realistic steps that can be used between visits.
She draws on 13 years of clinical experience that began in addiction counseling in 2009. Over time she has worked in adult and juvenile justice settings, residential centers, and a recovery program based in a homeless shelter for women and children.
Background and approach
That work included coordination with family and criminal courts to support individualized recovery plans. Her approach blends solution-focused work with proven therapy tools. Sarah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns.
She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - skills for emotion regulation and Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Parents can expect a practical and straightforward style. Conversations often include small, achievable goals and communication strategies to try at home.
Sarah emphasizes collaboration - she helps families test what works and adjusts plans as needed. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Studies and later a Master of Arts in Integrated Recovery and Co-Occurring Disorders in 2018. She practices in Texas and holds license number TX LPC 83544.
Sessions are offered in English and cover a wide range of concerns including grief, stress, depression, anxiety, and parenting issues.
How specific therapy methods translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps identify patterns of thinking that lead to stress, anxiety, or mood problems and replaces them with more helpful thoughts and actions. Online sessions can use specific exercises, homework, and simple behavior experiments to make change step by step.DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Sessions often focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that can be practiced between appointments and reviewed during video or phone visits.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change. It works well when someone is unsure about next steps; the therapist listens, reflects, and helps set small, achievable goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative and adjustments are made based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face, while phone sessions provide an option without video. Live chat and text-based messaging make checking in or getting short support between sessions easier. These options help families and busy parents fit therapy into their schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
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.
