Sarah Hall , LPC

Sarah Hall is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. As an LPC she holds a state license to provide mental health counseling and has worked in both private practice and clinical agency settings, supporting children, teens, adults, and families across a range of concerns.

She has worked with clients facing anxiety, behavioral challenges, grief, trauma, and mood disorders, and has experience with foster care youth, traumatized and non-verbal clients, and couples. Her work spans many areas including stress, relationships, parenting, ADHD, addictions, eating and body-image concerns, and coping with life changes.

Sarah earned a B.A. in psychology from the University of Missouri and an M.Ed. from Stephens College. Her therapeutic style is solution-focused and present-oriented, and she draws from several evidence-informed methods based on each person’s needs. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), adapting techniques to client preferences while maintaining a warm, honest, and respectful stance. She also attends to boundaries and multicultural differences in her work.

Outside of practice she is a mother and a dog owner who enjoys exercise. She looks forward to collaborating with clients to help them rediscover meaning and joy in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches for online counseling

Sarah often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into online sessions. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for mood instability, intense emotions, and relationship difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns and can support work on family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy modalities - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations. These options allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that fit their daily life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor interventions to each individual.
