About Sarah

Sarah Serluco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia with three years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, fertility challenges, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, and related issues. Sarah also lists work around trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She draws on client-centered conversation to identify strengths. She uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps. Cognitive and skills-based tools are brought in when helpful to change patterns that keep someone stuck.

Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and real-life application. She uses motivational interviewing to explore ambivalence and support change. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those needs arise.

Sarah often helps people who feel overwhelmed by family responsibilities or who are navigating difficult relationship choices. She also works with people dealing with addiction, infidelity, blended family challenges, and the fallout from separation or divorce.

Practical problem solving is a theme in her work. She helps clients learn small skills they can use at home and at work. The focus is on moving forward with doable changes rather than abstract theory.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a listening stance where the therapist follows the client's concerns and helps name strengths. This approach helps people who need a calm space to sort out feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. CBT is useful for specific problems like sleep struggles, low mood, and patterns that feed anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills offer concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT techniques can be helpful for people who get overwhelmed or who want to steady their reactions.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest approaches that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs change over time.

Confirm the precise online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments around work or parenting, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the day. Licensed professionals typically work with clients to shape session length and frequency so therapy fits into everyday life without disrupting responsibilities.
