01About Sarah
Sarah O’Brien is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with nine years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and life changes. She also supports clients facing parenting and family concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and questions around identity and self esteem.
Sarah keeps sessions warm and interactive. She uses a client-centered approach so the person’s goals guide each meeting. Practical tools and clear steps are offered when someone wants ways to cope between sessions.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with a wide variety of concerns from panic and phobias to body image, attachment issues, and caregiver stress. She has experience with LGBT clients and with trauma work, including eye movement desensitization approaches. Sarah adapts what she does to fit each person’s situation rather than following one set plan.
Sessions focus on short- and longer-term goals. Some people come for skill building, like managing anxiety or impulsivity. Others work on deeper processing of difficult events or grief.
She aims to balance immediate coping strategies with work toward longer-term change. Sarah offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible scheduling. International clients may be supported in English, and she explains how the subscription-based session model works before someone begins.

How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens closely and helps people clarify what they want to change, then follows the client’s lead during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, and unhelpful reactions. EMDR, an approach used for trauma processing, helps people work through distressing memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, preferences, and goals, and suggest one or a mix of methods. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, caregiving, or travel.
