About Sara

Sara Corey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and career transitions.

Background and approach

Sara aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported. In sessions she creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can name their struggles.

Conversations focus on practical steps and real-life patterns rather than clinical jargon. She listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and helps clients try different ways of responding.

Sara uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work, EMDR for trauma-related concerns, and mindfulness practices to build skills for stress and mood regulation.

These methods are applied in flexible ways to fit goals and comfort levels. She also addresses issues such as grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, and mood disorders.

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment experiences, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and life transitions like divorce or midlife shifts. Work may include symptom reduction, communication practice, or building routines.

Sara aims to partner with each person to set clear, achievable goals. She helps people notice small changes that add up over time.

The approach is collaborative, practical, and geared toward everyday life.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Sara uses the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and reduce destructive patterns in relationships. That work often involves practicing new conversation skills and learning how to manage conflict more constructively. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used with people who have trauma-related memories that continue to cause distress; sessions guide processing of troubling experiences in measured steps. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and ground mood, useful for anxiety and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She discusses goals and preferences during early sessions and adapts methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize relationship work, trauma processing, mindfulness skills, or a combination of methods based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and brief check-ins work well by chat or messaging. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, caregiving demands, and varied comfort with being on camera.
