Sara Gatlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with seven years of clinical experience.

Sara treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to meet unique needs and circumstances.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Sara Gatlin works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adaptable to remote formats. One common approach she uses focuses on cognitive strategies - helping clients notice and gently shift unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and to improve decision making. Another set of techniques emphasizes skills-based behavioral strategies - building coping tools, routine changes, and practical steps that support motivation, self-esteem, and management of stress and impulsivity. She also brings an attachment-informed perspective when relevant - exploring relationship patterns and communication styles to support healthier connections and reduce isolation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Sara works together with each client to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for scheduling and for how conversations happen. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to access support from different locations and to choose formats that suit their daily routines. For many clients, remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, school, and family responsibilities.
