About Sarah

Sarah Teague is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She brings seven years of clinical experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and work or money-related stress. Sarah aims to make sessions practical and straightforward so people can use what they learn right away.

She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and build a trusting working relationship. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions goal-oriented and focused on small, doable changes.

Sarah has worked in outpatient clinics, in-home care, and specialty clinics addressing sexual assault, interpersonal violence, homelessness, and addictions. She has also served as a Behavioral Health Officer in the US Army. That varied background informs how she approaches stress, trauma, and complex life transitions.

In sessions she focuses on clear steps people can take to manage sleep, reduce anxiety, repair communication, and handle parenting or blended family challenges. She also addresses body image, codependency, and issues around intimacy and alternative sexual cultures in a direct, nonjudgmental way.

Sarah describes her style as warm, collaborative, and shame-free. She asks questions, listens, and helps people pick practical strategies that fit their life. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that guide online work and goal setting

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and building a respectful working relationship. It emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are so they can name what matters and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes for anxiety, sleep troubles, and stress-related problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers sessions on clear goals and small steps. This approach is useful for people who want brief, action-oriented work to address relationship problems, habit changes, or coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in early and adjusting strategies as progress is tracked.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, sessions that avoid travel time, or ways to keep workday appointments. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and session length so the plan fits daily routines.
