About Sarah

Sarah Teague is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting, and related struggles such as sleep problems and self-esteem. Sarah also notes work with blended family issues and areas like abandonment, body image, and caregiver stress.

She uses straightforward, practical conversation to identify what is causing strain and what can change. Sessions focus on concrete steps and small experiments people can try between meetings. Sarah draws on client-centered conversation to understand priorities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to track thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals.

Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, in-home care, and clinics addressing sexual assault, interpersonal violence, homelessness, and addictions. She also served as a Behavioral Health Officer in the U.S. Army. These roles contributed to experience handling acute stress, trauma-related issues, and complex life transitions.

In sessions she listens for clear, practical adjustments people can make at home and at work. She helps clients sort communication problems, commitment worries, and co-parenting friction without taking sides. For those navigating a new stepparent role or merged household routines, she offers ways to reduce tension and set realistic expectations.

Sarah invites straightforward planning: identify a problem, choose a small change, review what worked, and repeat. People who want plain language and step-by-step problem solving tend to find this approach helpful. To begin, follow the site booking steps to see online therapy options and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and prioritizing what matters to the client. In practice that means the therapist follows the client’s lead, asks clarifying questions, and shapes sessions around the concerns the client raises. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort values or decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online sessions using CBT often include tracking patterns, testing beliefs, and trying small behavior changes between meetings to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical goals and immediate steps. It is useful when a client wants quick tools for specific problems, such as improving communication or managing a household routine in a blended family.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion can occur in early online sessions and be adjusted over time.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find virtual sessions helpful for keeping progress consistent while balancing parenting, work, and household duties.
