About Sarah
Sarah Janes is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC and a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with 13 years of practice in New Mexico. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. Her style is calm and nonjudgmental, focused on making changes that fit everyday life.
Sarah blends several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on person-centered ideas to listen closely and build a trusting space. Solution-focused tools help set short-term goals and track progress. Her work addresses a range of concerns including family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Sessions typically mix conversation with practical activities and steps to try between meetings. Art and mindfulness techniques may be included when they fit a client’s needs. Sarah aims to help people gain insight and feel empowered to change routines that no longer work.
She keeps language simple and offers concrete strategies you can use right away. Progress is measured by what improves in daily life. Prospective clients in New Mexico can expect a collaborative approach that focuses on clear goals and workable solutions.
The plan evolves as needs change, and the emphasis stays on realistic steps and steady support.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship. Online sessions use that same focus to understand priorities and create a respectful space for each person. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes. This approach works well over video or phone because it includes clear exercises and homework to practice between meetings. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on short-term goals and practical steps that move a person forward quickly; it fits online formats where progress and next steps can be tracked easily.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted if something isn’t working, keeping the work focused and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and people in different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing problem-solving. These options make it easier to practice new skills, follow through on agreed steps, and keep momentum between sessions.
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.
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.
