Getting to know Sarah Burgess
I work with teens, college students, and adults who may appear to have everything together but feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low motivation, or difficult emotions. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment free space where you feel heard while also gaining practical tools that make a real difference in daily life. Using evidence based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing, I help you identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, and build confidence. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative, focused on helping you feel more grounded, in control, and prepared to handle challenges with clarity and resilience.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When working with me, you can expect a supportive and collaborative environment where we focus on both understanding your experiences and building practical skills. I take a warm, direct approach and tailor sessions to your goals, whether you are navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, or relationship challenges. I integrate evidence based techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing to help you identify patterns, manage emotions, and create meaningful change. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling heard, empowered, and equipped with tools you can apply in your everyday life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, I focus on getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and clarifying what you would like to get out of therapy. Together, we identify goals and begin exploring patterns that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, or other challenges. In ongoing sessions, we balance supportive conversation with practical skill building using approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing. I often introduce strategies you can apply between sessions so you can continue making progress in everyday situations. Throughout the process, we regularly check in on what is working and adjust our approach to best support your growth.
