About Sarah
Sarah Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Mississippi with six years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes. She also focuses on parenting concerns, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and career questions.
Her approach is relaxed and straightforward. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk through immediate problems and set practical goals. She draws on client-centered methods to center what matters to the person in front of her, and uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
She also uses solution-focused techniques to build clear steps forward and motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or uncertain about change. When trauma is part of the picture, she brings trauma-focused work that aims to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Sarah pays attention to the realities of parenting, blended families, adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress. She also supports people coping with aging or geriatric concerns, body image issues, communication problems, and separation or divorce.
Sessions involve practical conversation, goal-setting, and skills you can try between meetings. The tone stays down-to-earth and respectful. To begin, readers are invited to use the site matching tools to choose online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the person’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach help people clarify what matters most and feel heard while working on everyday problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. In online sessions CBT often includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. It uses focused questions and reflections to uncover personal reasons for wanting to change and to build commitment one step at a time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to match methods to the issues and preferences you bring.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that work around school or work breaks. Different formats also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or pick options that need less bandwidth depending on daily life.
