About Sara
Sara Veldhuizen is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of practice. She works with adults who want to better understand themselves and make lasting changes. Her caseload includes stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship and family matters, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, intimacy-related issues, grief after separation, and career strain.
Sara uses an insight-focused, collaborative style. Sessions often look at patterns in feelings and behavior. She helps people notice how past experiences shape current reactions and choices. The aim is to move beyond short-term symptom control toward more durable shifts.
Her work suits people who are willing to reflect and do active, thoughtful work in sessions. Conversations can include practical problem solving alongside exploring emotion and meaning. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the client's priorities.
Sara also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address unhelpful thoughts and to build coping skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps are used when clients want concrete changes or to strengthen motivation for recovery. These methods are woven into a pace set by the client.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, readers are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
How sessions work
How Sara integrates approaches in online sessions
Sara commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies. Client-centered Therapy means the therapist focuses the conversation on the client's priorities, encouraging exploration of feelings and values. This approach helps clarify what matters most and supports self-directed change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping problems. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention practices to help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment noticing, which can ease intense emotions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the pace they want. That may mean more reflection in some weeks and more skill-building in others.
