Sarah Brown , LPC

Sarah Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience working with people facing addiction, trauma, mood disorders, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She combines practical skills with empathic support to help clients regain stability and move toward goals at a pace that fits their lives.

Sarah practices from a person-centered, solution-focused stance - honoring that each person is the expert in their own life while offering tools and strategies drawn from evidence-based therapies. Her work integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to address patterns of thinking and behavior, manage intense emotions, and support recovery from substance use and trauma.

Her training began with a Bachelor of Arts in Rehabilitation Studies in 2008 and led to hands-on addiction counseling starting in 2009. Over the years she has worked in adult and juvenile criminal justice settings, adult residential centers, and ran an addiction recovery program within a homeless shelter serving women and children. In 2018 she completed a Master of Arts in Integrated Recovery and Co-Occurring Disorders and progressed toward independent licensure as an LPC. Sarah views it as a privilege when someone chooses to share their story and offers collaborative, practical guidance as clients work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Sarah Brown

Sarah Brown uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and substance use challenges. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship problems. Motivational Interviewing is another core approach she uses to support change by exploring a person's values and enhancing motivation for recovery or behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sarah works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with clients to test what works and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for those balancing work, family, or mobility limitations. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and can help maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
