Sarah Burdett, LPC - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Sarah

Sarah Burdett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She draws on 23 years of experience to offer calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and parenting concerns. She aims to meet each person where they are and build a plan that fits their life.

She focuses on clear conversations and straightforward tools. Sessions often include problem-solving steps, skills to reduce anxiety, and ways to improve communication.

Background and approach

Sarah adapts her work to the issues a client brings, whether that is navigating a major life change or coping with lingering trauma. Parents find help with the everyday demands of childcare and with challenges that touch family roles. Sarah also addresses blending families, fatherhood issues, and problems that stem from family of origin patterns.

Postpartum concerns and pregnancy-related stress are also within her scope. Her approach brings together proven techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method to improve interactions. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals and somatic strategies to help the body and mind regulate after stressful experiences.

Sarah emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in each session. She works collaboratively to shape a treatment plan that fits a person’s needs. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady guidance through that process.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Sarah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of responding. CBT is good for anxiety, stress, and changing patterns that interfere with daily life. She also draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship and communication problems with concrete exercises that improve how people connect and solve conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah treats the choice of methods as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques that fit, and adjust the plan as needed to match preferences and progress.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. These formats let people maintain continuity of care from home, keep momentum between sessions, and choose how they prefer to communicate. The mix of approaches and flexible formats supports practical progress while balancing family and life demands.

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.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
