Getting to know Sarah Saunders

Hi there, I'm Sarah! Salutations! (I wanted something different than "hi" or "hello"). My name is Sarah and I am an LPCC-S in the state of Ohio which basically means I can practice independently and can supervise those who can't. I love therapy and I love what it can do for people. My practice approach is very individualized and eclectic in nature but comes from a trauma-informed lens always. The majority of my career has been in a locked residential setting helping children who struggle with severe mental health troubles, resulting behaviors, and even more severe trauma. I also have experience in the adult world as well as in federal corrections. My goal with Rula is to extend my reach to those who may be looking for a virtual approach to therapy and who are genuinely seeking help or even just someone to talk to My approach As mentioned in my bio, it is very eclectic and based on the individual. But, some of my primary approaches include trauma-informed CBT, DBP, person-centered, and motivational interviewing. I also specialize in just "gush" sessions where there is no approach being used aside from just listening and being an impartial person in your life when you need to simply talk to someone My focus My experience includes from as young as six to as old as, if I remember correctly, like 83. I am comfortable with most conditions but I would say I have extensive experience with personality disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, severe PTSD, and anxiety. I have worked with all types of clients and we seem to always manage to do good work. I may not be the soft-spoken, very gentle therapist that some people seek out and do well with. But, I am transparent, blunt, and I will challenge you. You may not always leave our session loving what we just did, but true progress can be uncomfortable and I am here to help you through that My communication style For this, again can be different for each person. In general, my sessions are very laid back.
