About Sarah
Sarah Mossa is a licensed counselor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem. She has two decades of experience in counseling and welcomes clients dealing with life changes, depression, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career questions, and family concerns.
She offers sessions by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Background and approach
Sarah uses a collaborative style in sessions. She treats therapy as a team effort and helps clients set clear, practical goals. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what steps can be taken to make daily life feel more manageable.
Her background includes work with diverse groups such as law enforcement, military personnel, veterans, and their spouses. She also supports the LGBT community and people from a range of faith traditions including Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, and Judaism. Sarah brings twenty years of clinical practice to her work and holds both LPCC and LPC credentials.
In sessions she blends evidence-based techniques with a client-centered approach. That means she listens closely, then introduces tools that match each person’s situation. Typical work might involve changing unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthening attachment and communication, or focusing on achievable short-term goals.
Sarah is based in Illinois and offers services in English. She accepts international clients and adapts formats to suit individual needs, whether that is quick check-ins by text or longer video conversations.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close connections and emotional bonds shape current relationships. It can help people understand patterns that repeat in partnerships and improve communication and closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. It gives practical tools you can use between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect; the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports their own goals and values.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as situations change, keeping collaboration central to the process.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and people in different places. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it possible to use the approaches above in ways that fit daily life and practical needs.
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.
