About Sarah
Sarah Tremblay is a licensed mental health counselor who uses a straightforward, person-focused approach. She draws on 18 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and changes in life. Sarah emphasizes clear communication and practical steps that can be used between sessions.
Sarah works with concerns such as self-esteem, compassion fatigue, parenting, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also addresses specific areas like abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and blended family issues.
Background and approach
Her practice includes both short-term coping strategies and longer-term skill building. Her style blends Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and supporting each person where they are, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for thinking and behavior changes, and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. Those methods are used to set clear goals and practical steps clients can try between appointments.
Sarah is licensed in Washington - WA LMHC LH 60895241 - and conducts sessions in English. She is experienced in helping people facing cancer, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic pain, and caregiver responsibilities. Her background also includes supporting people through divorce, separation, and grief.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sarah focuses on what can be done now to relieve pressure and build skills for the future. She encourages clients to bring specific problems and leaves room for small, steady progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting the person where they are, with the therapist offering attentive listening and support so the client can set the pace and goals. This approach helps when someone needs a safe place to talk and clarity about what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve day-to-day functioning.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when motivation feels low or when someone is unsure about next steps.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as the work progresses. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, revisit tools between meetings, and maintain steady support when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, goal-oriented care that adapts to each person's life.
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.
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.
