Sarah Rodriguez

Sarah Rodriguez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 19 years of clinical experience in Texas. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, anger, and low self-esteem. Her work often focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier.

She uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person’s needs. That can include cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, acceptance-based strategies to manage difficult emotions, and client-centered listening to help people feel heard. Sarah also draws on skills from dialectical behavior work and emotionally-focused methods when deeper emotional patterns are involved.

Across nearly two decades she has provided case management and individual counseling in a range of settings. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas Tech University and a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Webster University. She holds an LPC credential in Texas.

Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth. Sarah often helps people build skills for coping, set small achievable goals, and work through painful events at a manageable pace. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and adjusts the pace to each person’s comfort level.

People seeking help for trauma, domestic violence effects, depression or anxiety will find an approach that mixes short-term tools with attention to deeper issues when needed. She welcomes hearing each person’s story and helping them plan for a healthier future.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it offers clear steps and homework to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then the plan is adjusted over time so techniques match what actually helps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and making scheduling simpler. It can be a good option when someone needs a shorter check-in during a break, prefers not to drive, or needs to use less bandwidth by turning off video. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT skills to work well in remote sessions, using guided exercises, skill practice, and conversational coaching to support progress.
