Sarah Roe , LCSW

Sarah Roe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 34 years of experience in the behavioral health field. The LCSW credential indicates advanced training and a state license to provide clinical social work and therapeutic services. Her long career reflects work across multiple care environments, from community mental health centers to private practice, giving her broad experience with diverse client needs and settings.

She has provided support for a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, codependency, addictions, abuse and trauma, anger management, and stress management, among others. Her clinical background is informed by training in evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Wellness Management and Recovery, which she draws on to tailor care to each person.

Central to her practice is an emphasis on empathic connection and collaboration. She recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and prioritizes creating an environment where clients feel understood and accepted. Sarah approaches each person as doing the best they can with the skills they have, and she focuses on helping clients discover more effective strategies and build the skills they need to navigate life’s challenges.

She views therapy as a cooperative process rather than a one-way effort. Rather than positioning herself solely as an expert, she acts as a knowledgeable guide who partners with clients to find practical, individualized paths toward healing, growth, and recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sarah Roe integrates client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to create practical, patient-focused care. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration - it helps clients feel heard and supports them in identifying their own goals and solutions. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life, especially when coping with persistent distress or life transitions. These approaches are chosen to match the needs of the individual and to provide tools for both short-term symptom relief and longer-term growth.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Sarah Roe approaches that choice collaboratively. She will work with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and easier access to care. Sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. This range of options helps people maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday responsibilities.
