About Sarah
Sarah Sifran-McClellan is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) licensed in Colorado and Oklahoma with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD, and the pressures of parenting and family life. Her practice notes adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and blended family issues, substance use, and changes such as divorce or separation.
Sarah uses clear, straightforward conversation in sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current ones. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot patterns of thinking that make stress worse, and motivational interviewing to help people decide on practical changes.
In sessions she listens, asks concrete questions, and helps people set small, doable goals. She offers skills for coping with anger, managing mood shifts, and handling caregiver stress. For those dealing with substance use or codependency she works on decision-making and safety planning rather than abstract theories.
Her experience includes work with family of origin issues, body image concerns, commitment and control problems, and recovery from domestic violence and trauma caused by disasters. She also notes work with disruptive mood dysregulation concerns and dependent personality features.
People who want to start will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Online sessions and therapeutic approaches
Sarah uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current family and partner interactions; this approach helps people understand why certain triggers feel so big. Client-centered therapy is about listening without judgment and letting the person set the pace and topics for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood, which can be useful for stress, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts sessions over time, combining listening, skills practice, and problem-solving based on what is helping in real life.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so appointments can happen between work or caregiving tasks. Many people find virtual sessions helpful for ongoing skills practice and managing daily stressors.
