About Sarah
Sarah Mossa is an LPCC and LPC practicing for 20 years in Illinois. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship friction, parenting concerns, addictions, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Sarah also works with people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life changes such as divorce, caregiving, or chronic illness.
She uses a collaborative style. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations aim to identify what is getting in the way and to try new ways of coping. Sarah names direct concerns and looks for small, measurable changes clients can make between meetings.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She uses client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to address worry, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work help with readiness to change and short-term goal setting.
Sarah has experience with military and law enforcement communities and with people from several faith backgrounds including Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, and Judaism. She supports LGBT clients and people facing reproductive concerns such as miscarriage and pregnancy or post-birth issues. She also helps those dealing with blended family dynamics, fertility questions, and caregiver stress.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect trust, closeness, and conflict. Online sessions can be used to notice these patterns, practice different ways of relating, and plan specific experiments to try between meetings.Client-centered work emphasizes the person’s priorities and lived experience. In an online session this means the therapist listens with those priorities in mind and helps shape goals that feel relevant and doable at home or at work.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT homework can be practical and brief, and it often fits into everyday routines people already have.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide which methods to use based on your goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may be adjusted as you try different strategies.
The biography notes telephone and video counseling, so confirm which of these formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into the day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue therapy from different locations. Discuss format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit your routine.
