Sarah Gregg , LCSW

Sarah Gregg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with more than 16 years of professional experience. She brings focused expertise in supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Her background also includes extensive work with clients managing chronic illness and with those pursuing health goals related to bariatric surgery.

Sarah is trained in Brainspotting, which is an evidence-based trauma treatment modality, and she integrates trauma-informed perspectives into her work with survivors of sexual assault and other forms of trauma. She also addresses related areas such as caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, chronic pain and disability, eating and food-related issues, and first responder needs. Her experience spans family-of-origin dynamics, attachment concerns, and issues that commonly affect women and older adults.

Sarah emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that encourages openness about thoughts and feelings. She recognizes that beginning therapy often takes courage and seeks to support clients through that first step while tailoring treatment to each person’s circumstances. As an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker - she offers clinical psychotherapy grounded in these areas of focus.

Approaches for Online Attachment and Trauma Work

Sarah Gregg uses evidence-informed methods to guide online therapy in ways that fit each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and connection - it helps people understand how early bonds shape current feelings and patterns and can be useful for attachment issues, family-of-origin concerns, and relationship struggles. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates directly on processing and resolving the impact of traumatic events - it supports recovery from post-traumatic stress, sexual assault, and other trauma-related symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own perspective and strengths - the therapist offers empathic listening and collaboration to help clients build confidence and find solutions for life changes, self-esteem, and caregiving stress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods best match a person’s goals, preferences, and current circumstances. That collaborative planning helps shape a treatment path that can evolve over time.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. These options allow people to access therapy from their own environments, making it easier to continue care while managing health, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
