About Sarah

Sarah Teague is a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship and parenting concerns, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, self-esteem, and career or life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.

Sarah's background includes work in outpatient clinics, in-home care, and clinics that focused on sexual assault, interpersonal violence, homelessness, and addictions. She also served as a Behavioral Health Officer in the US Army. That variety has shaped a practical, direct approach to common problems adults bring from home life and work.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track small changes. The focus is on clear, doable steps people can try between meetings.

Sarah helps people talk through difficult family dynamics, blended family challenges, issues around intimacy and alternative sexual cultures, and caregiver stress. She also addresses abandonment concerns, codependency, communication problems, guilt, shame, and impulsivity. Her work attends to both emotional and practical problems that affect daily life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and perspectives. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps clarify what the client wants to change or understand.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In online meetings CBT can be used to spot patterns, practice new skills, and assign short exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps toward clearer goals. Online work with this method often centers on creating measurable next steps and checking progress week to week.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as needed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Ask about the session length and format options when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your daily routine.
